My husband and I loved this. I subbed the new Philly Cooking Creme in Savory Garlic for the cream cheese mixture. While the taste was excellent, the texture of the creme is too thin to be easily used. I also subbed bread crumbs because I didn't have any crackers. I would keep that substitution for convenience. However, I will definitely make this recipe again, following the instructions for the filling as listed. It was easy to make, and it was a new technique for me, since I have never rolled chicken before. I served with roasted potato cubes and corn. Thanks for sharing.

it was yummy! my husband liked it. the only thing i changed was that i used italian herb cream cheese so i wouldnt have to do extra work in adding in the seasonings myself.
