Amazing! This dish came out really well. Will definitely make again!
This was a really good recipe. I didn’t have any peppers, but it was still really good. I will definitely make it again and maybe add some Kalamata olives..
Not a lot of flavor
I have made this recipe several times now and just love it. The artichokes give a wonderful flavor and the mozzarella is creamy and delicious. It also delivers a very tender chicken. I usually bake it for approx 40 minutes.
My husband is not too adventurous when it comes to new recipes, but he hasn’t stopped talking about this! I can’t wait to make it for company! I did use feta instead of mozzarella, sundried tomato (in oil) instead regular tomato, added some fresh spinach and omitted the marinara. Cut it into slices served it with some chicken flavored rice. I do agree with another review that it might be worth trying to brown it on the stovetop and then simmer with some chicken broth. May give that a try next. I love looking for new things to try and this one is a keeper!
made it. making it again.
I probably don’t need to tell any cook what a great sauce for pasta this makes, but it does! Of course that meant giving it all of its cooking time in the pan, then spooning it over prepared pasta. Loved it.
Yum!
needed more seasoning or something. was ok alone, great chopped up on nachos.
This was a while lot easier to make than I thought it was going to be! The chicken was nice and juicy. I did think the filling was a bit on the bland side, next time I will add some garlic and maybe a few other things to spice it up a bit. I also have lots of filling left over so will reduce that a bit next time.
Wow! Not to take away from your great dish as it is Maggie, but I did not have Mozz cheese in the fridge. I did have a bar of Goat Cheese though and I used that. It was a wonderful surprise and I felt I should share that tidbit. I made some whole grain Penne for the side and made great use of the excess sauce it created. Oh YES! we will indeed do this again.
Made this last night and it was a HIT with the fam-roasted the peppers and garlic–wow so yummy! Easy and delicious 😉
I don’t like artichokes but know how healthy they are for you. Loved them in this recipe.
Just had this. Excellent dish. The flavor that predominates is the fresh basil, now growing with a vengeance in my garden (Florida, so I’ll have it all year). I made pretty much the recipe amounts, but wound up with extra filling. That’ll go great with pasta. Thanks, Maggie!
this wasn’t bad but didn’t have nearly as much flavor as I thought it would have….was actaully a bit bland.
Fantastic recipe! My boyfriend and I tried it this weekend with a few adjustments based on other reviews, and we loved it. We added spinach, orange peppers, and used the shredded 4 cheese mix instead of just mozzarella cubed. We also decided to leave out the marinara sauce. This is definitely something we are adding to our cook book!
this is so flavorful and tasty, it’s almost hard to believe that it’s a home-cooked meal. i’ve made this numerous times and it’s in my repetoire for cooking, that rotation of 25 or so recipes that everyone has. great inventor !
Sensational recipe! Used a whole jar of sauce for added flavor!
Well, my husband enjoyed this recipe, but I wasn’t the biggest fan. It reminded me too much of a stuffed Parmesan chicken, which I don’t really care for.
This was alright, it’s a nice idea but it turned out pretty bland, which surprised me. Perhaps some garlic or something with some stronger flavor added to the filling would be helpful. I’ll definitely try again with some tweaking, thanks for the recipe!
I thought this was good, but a lot of work for what you get. I used marniated artichoke hearts to give more flavor, but it was still missing something…
