2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
3?4 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons flour, separated
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
Preheat oven to 400°. Place sundried tomatoes in a bowl and pour about 1 cup of boiling water over
them. Let stand for 10 minutes to rehydrate and soften.
In the meantime, clean and rinse chicken. Pat dry. Working one breast at a time, place chicken between two
sheets of plastic wrap (or in a gallon ziploc bag) and pound to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Place pounded chicken on a large cutting board. The chicken breasts should be the shape of a large oval (more
or less). You’ll want to place the filling across the breast so it goes across the bottom half of the longest part of
the oval. Place one ounce of goat cheese across each breast. Top with sundried tomatoes and basil. Roll
chicken tightly (starting at the end with your filling) and secure with about 4?5 toothpicks.
Season with salt and pepper and dredge in 2 tablespoons of flour. Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a
medium skillet over medium?high heat. Carefully place chicken in skillet and saute for about 5?6 minutes,
turning frequently, until browned. Don’t worry if you lose a little bit of your filling (the cheese may ooze a
little). You’ll have to work around the toothpicks but it’s doable.
Remove chicken from skillet and place in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place dish in oven and bake
for about 5?10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
While chicken is in the oven, keep your skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in pan drippings from chicken
and add 1 tablespoon of flour. Whisk to combine. Add wine and let simmer a minute or two. Add chicken broth
and let simmer until thickened and reduced a little (about 3?5 minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To plate, remove toothpicks and slice chicken into medallions. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with sauce.

The extra cost for the Cracker Barrel cheese is definitely worth it. And, don’t worry, the pimentos will turn the cheese the color you expect…you won’t be eating white pimento cheese.
