    We really liked this with the addition of cream cheese. It totally made the recipe. I agree that the chicken turned out very dry and I'm not sure of a good way to impove this. I used some plain crumbs mixed with italian crumbs and no Parmesan cheese (because we were out). My husband still said it was one of the top 3 meals I've made...so no doubt we will have it again.

    I liked this but it was a little dry. I used some plain crumbs mixed with seasoned crumbs and I added a about 1/2 a cup of Parmesan cheese to the crumbs too. I used Provolone for the cheese. For easier clean up, I would suggest spraying the pan with some cooking oil.

    Yummy! Simple to make, popular with the family. Using cream cheese helps keep the swiss from bubbling out of the chicken roll. Flavor is a little different but still very good. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
