This is a tasty and unique recipe that was fun to prepare... I changed it up with: sautéed minced shallots and garlic in olive oil and then added finely chopped broccoli and kale. This was my filling. Then I used mozzarella instead but provolone would be tastier probably. Cut each chicken breast in half to get thin roll up. Added dried basil to the seasoning mix. Served these up in a shallow soup bowl, and surrounded each with a yummy spaghetti sauce!! Hubby went back for seconds!!
