Ah, tiropita wrapped in chicken breast. Tiropita is a common Greek dish of feta, cream cheese, and egg mixed then wrapped in phyllo dough (like a turnover). The only change I made was mixed the filling together first, and used panko bread crumbs. A nice treat, thanks for sharing the recipe.

As I thought, this was a flavorful dish. I still have a lot of homemade pesto, so I used this instead of basil. The combination of herbs with breadcrumbs was very nice. I had to cook this longer, because the breast had very different sizes (a huge one and tree smaller pieces)...but no problem... I knew this and I had enough time!

Loved everything about this great tasting dish ~ The prep, the cheese combo & the breading of the breasts which boosted the flavor to a wonderful high! Although this time around it was made for just the 2 of us, I look forward to serving this when we have company another time! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

I scaled this down to two serves. Very clear instructions, though I found it easier to mix the cream cheese, feta and herb mix together then spread it onto the chicken pieces. I added my favourite rosemary and sage combination to the other herbs: none were omitted! Mine browned nicely in just under 40 minutes and were wonderfully moist and flavoursome. I agree with Kim127, the cream cheese, herb and feta filling was just so wonderfully delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe! Made for PRMR.

Nice and tender stuffed chicken! I really liked the cream cheese and feta together, what a great combination. My chicken breast were fairly large so I baked for almost 40 minutes. The breading was a great touch. Thanks! Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.
