A delicious spin on Italian cuisine, this recipe is really easy to follow and always turns out great. You can serve the chicken over your favorite pasta with your favorite sauce. My favorite sauce to serve with this dish is a creamy pesto.

And by four stars I mean with the changes suggested by others- I seasoned the chicken for extra flavor and used garlic Parmesan cheese and other seasonings in with the filling. With those changes it was really good! Read More

We liked the idea of this recipe but the filling was rather bland. Overall it tasted ok and had a great texture and presentation but if I made this again I would mix in stronger cheese along with quite a bit of garlic onion and herbs for more flavor. Read More

I made this dish for my kids husband mother and step dad and the adults LOVED it!! The subtle flavor of the artichokes and ricotta cheese was incredible!! My son ate it without complaints but did admit it wasn't his favorite. My daughter who is the pickiest eater I know was too freaked out about the artichoke hearts and refused to eat it. Otherwise I'd say it was a big hit! I did add a little parmesan to the mix and seasoned the chicken breast with some basil. Great side dish with this is brown rice with a touch of cilantro lemon zest and parmesan cheese. Read More

I made some changes. Used low fat ricotta and infused olive oil with garlic and salt and brushed it over the breasts before putting in the oven. Also thinking that the breasts would be too pale I sprinkled paprika over them. The result was a moist delicious stuff breast that my co workers and family raved about. Thanks for the recipe I will definitely prepare it again. Read More

I think the problem is the definition of "a pinch". Don't be shy with the cumin and black pepper. I also sprinkled Parmesan and the extra stuffing over the top of the chicken while it was cooking. It was very good and will be repeated. Read More

I followed the instructions exactly; it was okay quite bland though. I served it with Alfredo sauce and salted the chicken too. Not sure if i'd make this again. Read More
