I was just searching for a recipe with fresh spinach in it and chicken, and it gave me this as a link...it didnt show under my new topics for some reason...but MMMM, I am making the chicken now...without the stove top though...just added a 2tbsp of bread crumbs soaked in chicken broth instead...I cant tolerate bread products well. The only difference that I can see so far is that I was able to up the spinach to compensate for the lack of stuffing, and added a sprinkle of feta cheese to the mixture to stuff....

I will let you know how it turned out...and thank you Celadon!

Sounds good Marianna. I think I too would not use the stuffing. Maybe some chopped zuchinni with the spinach. Feta works so well with spinach!

My handsome hubby is taking me to a wonderful Steak & Fish restaurant that is secluded in the mountains.

(your Chicken recipe has my name written all over it! Yum!)
