Your family will think you’re a gourmet chef when you whip up these crunchy spinach stuffed chicken breasts. Chicken breasts that are butterflied and tenderized to perfection before being stuffed with a cheesy spinach mixture before being rolled up and baked to perfection. This is a hearty dish that’s bound to fill any stomach, and is a great way to get picky eaters to get their leafy greens. Dan-O’s Crunchy adds a nice texture overall and flavor to the dish.
Potential substitutes and additions for crunchy spinach stuffed chicken
- Swap the cream cheese for a more tangy feta cheese. Feta cheese has less calories, carbs, and fat than cream cheese plus more vitamins and minerals.
- You could add some walnuts to the filling for a crunchier, gourmet taste. Walnuts are rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and help promotes an healthy gut.
- Braise the breasts with some butter for a rich skin.
- Use a little lemon to add a little acidity and brighten the dish up.
- If your rolled up spinach stuffed chicken is having a hard time staying together, don’t be afraid to tie it up with some butcher twine.

I made this tonight, but instead of using straight cream cheese, I used a tub of spicy jalapeño cream cheese spread. OMG it was amazing!!
After stumbling across your videos and salivating over them for about 4 months, I decided to try this recipe last night. I went to 2 stores and found the Dan O’s original, “That’s the green top”, but both stores were sold out of Crunchy. (Kudos for that!!) So, I improvised and bought the Cheesoning. I’d never tried either, but….da**, cheese inside and cheese on top…sooo good!!! You’ve got a new fan…and a new recipe. Thank you, and, you’re welcome! 😆 I’ll keep watching…but will leave that overnight whole hog roasting to you!
I made this tonight and I did change it a little and added artichoke hearts. I also cut back some of the cream cheese and added parmigiana. I had made it one before and flavor wise was amazing. It was a little rich for me so I just tweaked it to my preference. All and all super easy recipe and super yummy.
