11/13/2011 Yummy! And stuffed chicken always seems more fancy than "regular" chicken. :) One question -- how did you prevent the brie from oozing out everywhere? Brie is so soft, I'm wondering if keeping it in the fridge up until the point of slicing would help, but have a feeling it would melt anyway.

09/22/2011 This recipe was so easy! Made a few substitutions though... instead of just using dijon (I didn't have any), I mixed together a half a tablespoon each of tomato pesto, chipotle mayo and the garlic philly cooking cream and spread that on the chicken. I used fresh spinach and sauteed that first with garlic and red pepper flakes and used feta instead of brie (basically used whatever I had in my fridge- welcome to the life of a college student!). It came out amazing and my roommate was so impressed

11/02/2010 This recipe is one of the best combinations of easy and delicious that I have made in awhile. My husband and his brother were planning to have dinner together, but when they saw what I had made they decided to eat it instead! My brother-in-law looked at the chicken and said "did you make this from scratch?"

09/13/2010 I think dried feta will work too.. I'm trying that cuz it's the only cheese I have in the fridge :) Sounds good!

06/28/2010 Great recipe. I added a couple tablespoons of chopped fresh oregano and a coupld chopped green onions to the spinach for added flavor. I also mince a couple of cloves of garlic and add it to the mustard. Will be making this again, soon.

05/10/2010 Loved this recipe. I used dried parsley in the orzo, as well as some sea salt and garlic powder. I used fresh spinach for the chicken and added a little minced garlic inside. These were a big hit, and so easy to make. I especially loved the tomato in the orzo. I'll be making this again for sure!

04/01/2010 I think my problem with the chicken side of this dish was that my cutlets weren't thin enough... too much chicken was left without much flavor getting to it. I would add more cheese next time, and pound out cutlets to ensure even thickness... I also recommend seasoning the chicken inside before rolling. The orzo was fantastic.

12/14/2009 Goat cheese would be outstanding. I would also recommend Boursin cheese.

05/28/2009 I actually just bought goat cheese last night to substitute for the Brie so after tonight I can let you know how it was. But I think it will be great.

05/20/2009 Can you substitute goat chesse for the brie, or what other cheese might work - we don't care for brie, but the recipe sounds tasty.

12/01/2008 This is a great meal. I prepared the chicken in advance and refrigerated it until guests came over, at which point I broiled it and cooked the orzo. Highly recommended.

10/16/2008 I never make the chicken, but i always make the pasta. It's the best stuff on the planet! It's one of our family favorites. It goes particularlly well with Martha's Snap peas with dill butter.

05/28/2008 Great tip on the toothpicks...I made this the other day and it was a big hit! I will be making this again.

05/23/2008 Yes, you can use toothpicks to hold your chicken together. Just be sure to soak your toothpicks in water for about 20 minutes. This allows time for the toothpicks to absorb enough water so they do not burn.

05/22/2008 Question? Can you hold the roll ups with toothpicks and broil or do you just put them on baking pan as is?

05/14/2008 This is delicious!! Made it this weekend with a couple of changes. I used boneless skinless thighs; used 1 TBS mayo in place of 1 TBS Dijon; and added green beans to the orzo and substituted basil for the parsley. nestlenancy - try putting the brie in the frezzer for about 10 minutes; cut off the top rind and then cut with a piece of dental floss. It works every time and the taste is worth it!

05/06/2008 Super easy and quick! I drizzled a bit of olive oil on top of the chicken in hopes of adding moisture to it. I will try mayonaise next time, that sounds like a good suggestion. I will definitely make this again.

05/06/2008 To slice the brie, you could try when it's cold, or use some dental floss. Sounds weird, but it works.

05/06/2008 Great recipe, I changed it up just a bit by adding sauted mushrooms and shallots seasoned with some herbs de provence, then substitued mascarpone for the brie. I just try to work with what I have on hand, It turned out great. Thanks again for another great recipe

05/06/2008 Does anyone know how to slice brie cheese. All the brie cheeses I've seen are so soft. Thanks.

05/06/2008 It seems that you could just substitute mayonnaise for the Dijon. That would provide some moisture. I think plain yellow mustard would be too strong and overpower the Brie and spinach.

05/06/2008 The mustard gives this dish a little zip, but, it would be good without it too. Try substituting a garlic herb butter or add a slice of proscuitto on top of the chicken then add the spinach and cheese.
