Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C | 350°F. Cut a pocket about 3/4 quarter of the way through on the thickest side of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Pour 1 teaspoon of sun dried tomato oil over each breast, rubbing some of the seasoning inside the pockets.
- Fill each with 2 slices fresh tomato, 2 teaspoons sun dried tomato strips, one slice mozzarella cheese and basil leaves.
- Seal with 3-4 toothpicks diagonally to keep the filling inside while cooking.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of sun dried tomato oil (or olive oil) in a skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix together the garlic, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small jug. Pour the mixture into the pan around the chicken; bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally, until the glaze has slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Transfer pan to the preheated oven and continue to cook for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
- Remove toothpicks and drizzle with pan juices.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium. Prepare the chicken: With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally without cutting all the way through; open like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound until 1/2 inch thick.
- Make the garlic-tomato oil: Mix the sun-dried tomato oil and garlic in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with half of the garlic-tomato oil; top with the zucchini, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll up the chicken toward the pointy end; tie with 3 pieces of kitchen twine. Brush with the remaining garlic-tomato oil.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken breasts, turning, until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then remove the twine and slice.
COUSCOUS STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WITH FETA, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND KALAMATA OLIVES
Steps:
- For the couscous: In saucepan over medium heat add olive oil, when hot, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and saute a few minutes more. Add olives and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the box of couscous, turn off heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork, and season with salt and pepper. Spread 2 cups on large plate, add in 1/2 pound feta, and let cool. Keep the remaining hot to serve with chicken. (Put in covered casserole and reheat in oven last 10 minutes with chicken.)
- For the chicken: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim chicken with a boning knife, if needed. Start at top of breast and carefully make a lengthwise cut from top to bottom and making a pocket about 2 inches, making sure not to pierce the other side of the breast. When couscous is cool enough to handle, carefully spoon couscous mixture into pocket. Even out the stuffing by gently moving it around with your hands. Wipe off any excess couscous from outside of breasts and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in saute pan and brown off both sides of chicken. Place chicken on baking sheet and place in oven for 20 minutes.
- While chicken is baking, make the sauce.
- For the sauce: In saute pan that you cooked chicken breasts in, heat and add garlic. Deglaze with white wine and add lemon juice. Reduce by one third. Add in sun-dried tomatoes, let reduce for 2 to 3 minutes, add the olives, turn off heat, add the butter and stir to combine.
- To serve, place couscous from oven on plate, cut chicken breast in half, top with sauce, crumble remaining feta cheese over.

The juices of the chicken mixed with the brie make a wonderful combination. You can use skinless breasts, but the cripiness of browned skin tastes terrific.

Tips:
- Prep Your Chicken Breasts: Before stuffing and cooking, use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each chicken breast. Take care not to cut all the way through.
- Season it Right: Enhance the flavor of your chicken breasts with a blend of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts and inside the pockets.
- Veggie and Sun-Dried Tomato Filling: Prepare a colorful and flavorful filling using a medley of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and spinach. Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy twist to the stuffing.
- Stuffing Technique: Spoon the prepared veggie and sun-dried tomato filling into the pockets of the seasoned chicken breasts. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
- Secure the Chicken Pockets: To prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking, use toothpicks to secure the openings of the stuffed chicken breasts.
- Cooking Methods: You can bake or pan-fry the stuffed chicken breasts. For baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. For pan-frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, then reduce the heat and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the succulent stuffed chicken breasts with your choice of sides. Roasted potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or a simple green salad are great accompaniments.
