Agreed..this was fantastic! I followed the recipe except I added fresh parmesan cheese before closing it. I also was skeptical about the 'flour only' batter..so I dredged in egg and then flour....deliously moist. Definite keeper and the sauce is a must!!! you and look up marsala sauce in recipezaar and it goes great with this!!!

Very good! Our cupboard was bare of mushrooms, so we added a bit more spinach. We also added a thin slice of Black Forest ham and a thin slice of Swiss cheese before rolling. While the chicken was finishing up in the oven, we deglazed the pan, then made a sauce with Dijon mustard and a touch of heavy cream. Sliced diagonally and served over a bed of wide egg noodles with fresh herbs, topped with the mustard cream, we agree that this is elegant enough for company!

This is a very tasty moist lovely chicken recipe - Can you tell we loved it? One thing! I really massacred the chicken when I was pounding it - it was still a wee bit frozen - there were some thin spots so be kind when you are pounding yours. I didn't bake it. The chicken was so thin that it cooked perfectly in the pan. I only used a spray of mazola, The combination in the stuffing is wonderful Thanks Rita for a real winner - Looks great and tastes Mmmmmmm
