Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves (14 ounces each) 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves 1/3 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, about 8 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 ounces Fontina or mozzarella cheese, cut into four pieces 2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. With a paring knife, cut a 1-inch-long slit in thick side of each breast. Insert knife, and without enlarging opening, carefully work around inside to form a pocket (make sure you do not go through the other side).
On a cutting board, pile basil, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; finely chop. Divide mixture evenly, and spoon into breast pockets, spreading it around. Insert one piece of cheese in each breast pocket.
Close pockets, using 2 to 3 toothpicks per breast; arrange, skin side up, on baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let chicken rest 5 minutes; remove toothpicks before serving.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/21/2012 A friend of mine cooked this recipe the other day and it was very good :-) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/21/2010 I made this for dinner tonight and it turned out excellent. I used fresh, diced tomatoes in place of the sun-dried tomatoes, and also added a few more seasonings to the top in addition to the salt and pepper. I added a dash of parsley, basil and garlic on top and they looked beautiful. I served it with minced, fresh tomatoes on top as garnish and it looked exquisite! And... it was so easy to make! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/30/2009 Can't beat new Chicken recipes, and this one will be on my table soon. I liked your idea YankeeinEngland how you blended the spices. Thanks. Now I am printing this off, and onto all the other exciting ideas with Chicken. Good posting as always. God Bless Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/13/2008 Not bad, but I put the tomato, basil, and garlic into the food processor, then spread this into the chicken pockets, then baked. I topped with the cheese the last 10 mins of baking, and it was delicious. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/21/2008 So good. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It worked great. I also used dieced tomatos. It was really good Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/20/2008 Very tasty but cooking the chicken on the bone too quite a while. Will try agan but may try it boneless but with skin on just to give it another try. Flavors work wonderfully. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/10/2008 This is a delicious chicken recipe!!!! So easy to fix and comes out perfect! The basil really gives the chicken a wonderful flavor! I'm sharing this recipe with everyone! YUMMY! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/06/2008 My husband and I truly enjoyed this recipe... It was easy to prepare and delicious. We both need to watch our fat and cholesterol intake, a breakdown of nutritional information would be a huge improvement to all of these recipes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/03/2008 i made this last night along with the pasta with shrimp, tomato, and basil (the recipe can be found on here) it was really good and super easy to make! i will be making this again soon! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/24/2008 I made this dish for my wife and a friend of hers from work. They were both very impressed and I looked like a culinary genius. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/10/2008 wonderful and very simple. My family loved it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/05/2007 Excellent! made this for dinner tonight and it was very good and filling.Martha Stewart Member
