Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used less salt in the stuffing.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more herbs and spices to the stuffing.
