Although I found the measurements out of whack for us I still rated this recipe a 5 star, cause with the adjusted portions it turned out great & tasted amazing. For 4 servings we used 1.25 lb chicken, .25 of flour & breadcrumbs. Filling we used 4 oz of spinach, mushrooms & cottage cheese. When everything came together is tasted great, kinda like a chicken parmesan (but abit healthier with the different cheese(s) & vegys). We really enjoyed this recipe & it was pretty easy to put together... we will definately make it again, thanks for sharing.
