Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make 8 crosswise cuts along each chicken breast, slicing two-thirds of the way through (be careful not to cut all the way through; see Cook's Note). Transfer the breasts to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the Italian Herb & Garlic Dressing over them.
- Fill the first slit on each breast with 1 half-moon slice of fresh tomato and a couple pieces of sun-dried tomato. Fill the next slit with 1 piece of cheese. Fill the remaining slits on each breast, alternating between the tomatoes and cheese.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife: This will help you make clean, even cuts in the chicken breasts.
- Don't cut the chicken breasts all the way through: You want to leave a little bit of meat intact at the bottom so that the chicken breasts stay together.
- Use a variety of toppings: This will help you create a flavorful and visually appealing dish. Some good options include pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- Bake the chicken breasts until they are cooked through: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
