So good the kids may ask where you ordered this dish from.

The great thing about stuffing chicken with cheese is that the kids will be so amazed that they may even forget about that green stuff (spinach) in the sauce. If you have kids that aren’t huge greens fans, we recommend chopping the spinach up instead of leaving it whole. We’ve found that a lot of kids aren’t fans of whole cooked spinach, but will eat it chopped up.
