Good food has a way of transporting you to faraway places. My chicken with fontina and cream cheese is like a blissful trip to Italy. —Tammy Rex, New Tripoli, Pennsylvania

Loved the filling. So tasty! Good for family dinner or this would be great for company. The filling stayed in the chicken breast not like some that runs out after baking.
I could not find Fontina so I used Swiss, excellent! Will make again for sure! Rather than rolls I layered chicken, cheese mixture and topped with chicken. Works great and you get more cheese
This recipe was excellent - I did have to use cheddar instead of Fontina because I couldn't find Fontina in the UK but it still turned out great!
I can't believe this recipe has only 4 reviews! This is an *excellent* chicken recipe. How many ways can we cook chicken, right? Well this recipe is a game changer. I don't know if it's the Fontina (which I made accompanied smashed, garlic potatoes with melted Fontina on top,) or the addition of sun-dried tomatoes (or bacon!!) or what. But this chicken recipe is on our rotation as a family favourite!! Thank you!!
This was delicious!!! One of my favorite chicken dishes for sure! My father-in-law doesn't care for chicken but he loved this chicken!! A definite winner.
Loved this! Easy to make & tastes great. I used half Panko & half Italian bread crumbs only because I don't care for the Panko. Either way, this recipe is definitely a keeper.
Made this last night and it was delicious !! Did the prep ahead of time and it was easy. I didn't have to use the tooth picks,.just rolled and put on the foil in pan. Excellent and will definitely make again. Thanks !!!
Absolutely delicious! I didn't have Panko breadcrumbs so I used regular. The combination of flavors was amazing. This is definitely a dish to be made for company.
