With this pregnancy I have mostly been craving sweets. All things sweets. I have to really think about eating salty things so when I do sit down to a savory meal, I want it to be one I know I will eat. That list of meals has included mostly margarita pizza and all things alfredo.

 I love the spinach, mushroom, chicken, alfredo combo as you can tell by several recipes on my blog. I thought a yummy stuffed chicken was the perfect switch up to my favorite roll ups.

This meal had every single person in my family grinning from ear to ear. My husband kept saying how it was better than anything he had ever had at an Italian restaurant. Trust me, if you are looking for a dinner that will impress, this is your recipe! It is beyond yummy and has a wonderful list of ingredients. Try it! You will not be disappointed!

    I made this and my husband and I loved it! It is absolutely delicious! Easy to prepare ahead of time and pop in the oven. I served it on a small bed of angel hair pasta with a salad and warm bread. Definitely a new favorite and can't wait to serve it to company!
