Steps:

• Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Place egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in egg, then coat with bread crumbs., Combine cheese and tomatoes. Place 1/4 cup cheese mixture down the center of each chicken breast; top with each with bacon. Roll up from a short side; secure with toothpicks., Place on a greased baking sheet; drizzle with oil. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks before serving.

Steps:

• One by one put each chicken breast in a large ziplock baggie and pound it to 1/4 inch thickness.
• To make pesto: put the sundried tomatos, garlic, pecans, parmesan and olive oil into a mini-chopper or blender and puree until smooth.
• Lay the chicken flat and place a tablespoon of the pesto on each. Roll it up and secure with wooden toothpicks.
• Heat the butter in a heavy large frying pan. Add the chicken and saute until browned and done, about 30 minutes, turning several times.
• Meanwhile, add the cream and sour cream to a small saucepan and heat through. Add the remaining pesto to this and heat until bubbly, but not boiling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• With a knife, carefully cut a slit in the side of the chicken making sure to not cut all the way through.
• Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, pepper, and salt.
• Stuff each chicken breast with a clove of garlic, half of the mozzarella, half of the sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 ounce (30g) of baby spinach. (You may use toothpicks to close the ingredients inside the chicken breasts if desired, just remember to remove them!)
