3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup oil packed sun dried tomatoe, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp pesto sauce ( purchased refrigerated)
3/4 tsp coarse salt, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 3/8-inch thickness
