Basil-Stuffed Chicken With Tomato Vinaigrette


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 618

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts halved, bone-in
kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup Basil Pesto homemade, jarred, in a tube, or refrigerated
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato pesto, jarred or in a tube
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or jarred organic
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions:

Heat the broiler to high, and position a rack about 6 inches from the burner.

Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Season the outsides of the breasts with salt and pepper. Fill the pockets with pesto, and coat the surface of each breast with olive oil. Place bone-side up on a broiler pan and until the bone sides are deeply browned and the chicken is almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn over and broil for 5 more minutes to brown the meaty sides.

While the chicken is broiling, mix the sun-dried tomato pesto, garlic, and vinegar in a bowl. Spoon over the broiled breasts and serve.
