I was wondering if this can be frozen once you’ve prepared the chicken bundles, then you can can just take them out of the freezer and throw them in the oven
I make this recipe all the time, it’s one of our favorites!

  I think you could freeze them before cooking and then bake at a later time. If you try it, let me know and I'll update the recipe with your notes. Thanks for visiting!

I prefer to use fresh baby spinach. Can I chop it up and add to ricotta raw, or should I saute it?

    This was so delicious! I did use sautéed baby spinach and I butterflied the chicken instead of rolling it. I have no luck with rolling, lol. It was much easier for me to close it like a book. Will definitely make this again!

Yet another spinach question - Ingredients list includes two bulleted entries for spinach, only one of which is addressed in Instructions:
•½ cup frozen chopped spinach squeezed dry
•Half a package of 10 ounce size frozen spinach squeezed dry.
Please clarify.

Was excited for this until I saw the splenda... Sugar would actually be better for you! May be good but they definitely aren't healthy. Maybe use coconut sugar if you're looking for something low glycemic and mostly healthy.

Great recipe! Only difficulty I had was the recipe doesn't specify what size bag of spinach to buy. I bought a 8 OZ bag to use half in the stuffing the ricotta to spinach did not look like the same portions as the picture. I highly suggest getting a small bag than I did! Otherwise, delicious!

Oh My Gosh! You have outdone yourself with these stuffed chicken breasts. I love the ricotta cheese and spinach filling. I am pinning this and will be making it in a couple weeks. Did you use your own tomato sauce or purchased? Not sure it would make a difference since the chicken is the star, just wondering.
Thanks for linking up to the In and Out of the Kitchen link party. I am happy you stopped by!
