I made this for dinner tonight. The flavor is wonderful. Will definately make again. I was worried the filling would run out in the oven, so I did this differently. I pounded the breasts out thin, filled with the cheese mixture, folded over and stitched with toothpicks, dipped in egg, then crumbs, then just quick fried it, sort of like cordon bleu. The results were fantastic, and the cheese mixture did not ooze out. I will try it again next week, exactly as directed, and compare the two. A very tasty dish. Thank you for posting this recipe.

11/7/08 This is a quick meal to prepare. I found that stuffing the chicken with the cream cheese mixure really messy. In retrospect it would be better to use a piping bag and wide nozzle. I am not sure how you would genty saute the chicken before you bake it as the stuffing would run out, so I skipped that part and just baked it. I used reduced fat cream cheese and the result with full fat cream cheese may be better as I found the reduced cheese a little dry, NOT the chicken, just the stuffing.
