Deliscous! A This was a definite hit at dinner last night. I made a few substitutions: shredded mozzarella for slices 1/4 c. butter instead of 1/2 c. italian bread crumbs and chicken broth for white wine. Still came out wonderful. I baked it for the full 45 minutes for a crunchier coating. Also I used unwaxed dental floss instead of toothpicks. Will make again and again! Read More

The photo does not match the ingredients. My family rated this recipe 2-3 stars. The recipe seems to mirror a mock chicken parmesan. Read More

This was terrific! I even passed it on to some of my friends. Instead of pounding chicken breasts I always slice chicken horizontally to make two thinner breasts which makes double the number of roll-ups. I made my own seasoned breadcrumbs by adding oregano pepper parsley garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Definitely will be repeated in our household. My husband and boys loved it! Thanks Amber!

This was pretty good. Unfortunately a lot of the cheese leaked out while it was baking. The pounding and rolling up of the chicken was a bit messy and troublesome- maybe next time I'll just cut each breast in half thickness-wise and put the cheese in the middle. Also the bread crumbs got a bit soggy from baking in the "sauce"- maybe next time I will fry them in some oil to crisp it up a little and possible use a different sauce to bake them in. But the cheese inside was delicious! (PS I substituted chicken broth for the wine). Read More

This was amazing. The only thing that I did differently was using fresh mozzarella. This will definately be a favorite in our house for a long time. Thanks for the post. Read More

I thought this dish was awfully labor intensive for the end result. My husband and I both ate it but agreed that I probably won't make it again. Read More

I loved this recipe. I thought it was new and delicious. I have never cooked with wine mainly because I was never old enough to buy it but now I am and it was wonderful. It was a little time consuming the first time but once you make it a few times it gets faster. Wonderful recipe Read More

I made this without the sauce and used tomato sauce instead.. It was very good but a little bland next time I'll use more spices in the breadcrumbs. Read More
