I really enjoyed this too! I am a klutz, and could NOT figure out how to fold over the chicken without losing all the filling, so followed qwerty3020's example and baked it. Worked great! Will definitely make again! Thank you!

This was really good! I followed the directions given but I only browned the chicken and then I baked it for 40 minutes at 350. Also I added a splash of wine to the frying pan and the pan I baked the chicken in (I love wine). Thanks for sharing.
