Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix artichokes, cheese, tomatoes, and basil in medium bowl. Using small sharp knife and working with 1 chicken breast at a time, cut 2-inch-long slit horizontally into 1 side of chicken breast. Move knife back and forth in slit to form pocket. Divide 1 cup cheese mixture among chicken pockets (reserve remainder for frittata). Press edges to seal. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add chicken; cook 2 minutes. Turn chicken over; transfer skillet to oven. Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Pound the chicken breast to about ¼ inch, set aside. Lay two slices of prosciutto side by side slightly over lapping. Lay one chicken breast on top lengthwise. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with half the Fontina, spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Starting at one end carefully roll the chicken breast and prosciutto. Tie the ends with kitchen string or use toothpicks to keep closed. Repeat with the other breast.
• Add olive oil to a medium large oven proof skillet; heat over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Stirring constantly, cook until soft. Add chicken breasts one at a time and brown on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate. While the skillet is still hot add white wine scraping the brown bits up. Return the chicken to the skillet and place in the oven.
• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from the oven and remove string or toothpicks. Slice into 1 inch slices. Serve over angel hair pasta.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken breast and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Cut a slit along one side of the chicken breast with a sharp non-serrated knife being careful not to cut all the way through. Keep the cut as center as possible. Set chicken in the refrigerator.
• Heat 1 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat and saute the sun dried tomatoes for 2 minutes. Then add the spinach and saute for 1 minute stirring continuously so the spinach doesn't burn. Remove onto plate and let cool.
• Using your fingers stuff the chicken with the Fontina cheese then the sun dried tomato and spinach saute.
• Heat 1 tablespoons olive oil in the same deep skillet over medium heat.
• Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the herb blend and set breasts in skillet. Cover.
• Cook on each side for 8-12 minutes, covering throughout. Adjust time according to thickens of chicken and type of cooking range.

Steps:

• Make 2-inch-long deep cut with knife parallel to cutting board in center of each chicken breast half to form pocket. Evenly stuff pockets with cheese and tomatoes; secure with wooden toothpicks. Sprinkle, if desired, with salt and pepper. Dip chicken breasts in flour.
