Ahhhh this was sooo good! I had thick chicken breasts, so I just butterflied them and put the spinach mixture in the center. I thought it may be difficult to brown the chicken with the spinach mixture (didn't want it to fall out), but that wasn't an issue. This was very easy to make, just following the instructions. I'll definitely make this again!
