Preparation
Step 1
Chop sun dried tomatoes. Add goat cheese, basil, and pepper to tomatoes and stir to combine.
Step 2
Place chicken on a cutting board and use a paring knife to slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast to hold the filling. Enlarge the pocket carefully without cutting all the way through.
Step 3
Divide cheese mixture between pieces of chicken, gently stuffing it into the pocket. Secure with toothpicks if desired.
Step 4
Season the outside of the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Coat a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium flame. When hot, add chicken and cook 5 minutes or until golden brown underneath.
Step 6
Reduce heat to low, turn chicken breasts over, and cover.
Step 7
Cook 10 minutes or until no pink color remains when cut through the thickest part.
