I added Gouda Cheese instead of Feta and we loved it. I have made it both ways but love the Gouda best. I have also added red pepper to the stuffing and it changes it to a little more of tangy stuffing. It is really good that way.

My husband and I thought this was a great recipe. I spiced it up slightly by adding some cayenne pepper.

I made this last night and I thought it was very tasty! I used all broccoli because I needed to get rid of it and for the dressing I used Cheese Fantastico Light. It has almost no calories and it taste really good.
Instead of feta I used ricotta because the creamy consistency made it easy to blend with the vegetables. Also, I couldn't find non-fat mozzarella as per another suggestion so ricotta was a low calorie choice. You may have to add some salt though because ricotta is a fairly bland cheese.
I also added bacon bits to the stuffing. This was a great suggestion! The other thing that I added was cayenne pepper when making the chicken. This made a huge difference! It added a lot of flavor and the perfect amount of kick.
