This was pretty good. I didn't have tooth picks so I used turkey skewers. A lot of the filling squished out so I'd be sure to use the toothpicks. The taste was good. I also had to McGuiver the filling because I couldn't get the garlic spread. I used veggie cream cheese and added the green onions and some oregano and black pepper. We'll make this again for a different way to grill chicken.

I didn't have the herbed cream cheese so I used plain lowfat cream cheese that I added a couple cloves of minced garlic and at least a full tsp of Bouquet Garni to instead. I still used the fresh oregano, olives and onions too. Also, I always baste chicken with a mixture of oil, garlic and a little white wine when grilling. I made enough for 2 meals and this was just as good reheated the next night.
