Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , about 4 to 6 oz each
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
4 tsp pine nuts, toasted
8 marinated sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 bunch basil
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup chicken stock

Directions:

Cut a deep horizontal pocket in the side of each chicken breast. Make the pocket as large as you can without piercing the top or bottom of the breast. Rub pepper & salt over the breasts. Place 2 slices of tomato 1 teaspoon pine nuts and about 4 basil leaves in the pocket of each chicken breast. Secure the pocket with toothpicks threading along the side to close. Heat the oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet until it begins to smoke. Cook each side of the chicken until golden brown.
Add the vinegar and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and gently simmer the chicken for 2 or 3 minutes per side until cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and keep in a warm oven or under a foil tent. Continue to cook the sauce until it is reduced to a thick syrup.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast. Garnish with fresh basil.
