- Slice chicken breast in half, almost to the other edge, and open it up like a sandwich. Pound each breast with a meat mallet.
- Make the pesto by adding all ingredients for it into a food processor. Turn on for about 15 seconds at a time. Scraping down the sides with a spoon, if needed.
- Distribute half the pesto to each chicken breast. Spread the pesto, when chicken breast is opened up, and layer sun dried tomatoes on top. Close chicken breasts and use tooth picks to hold each closed.
