Elegant and easy, these
delicious chicken breasts are enhanced by a stuffing of tangy goat cheese
and sun-dried tomatoes. As a variation, place a large fresh basil leaf
directly on top of the stuffing mixture. To finely chop the pecans, I place
them in a plastic storage bag, then lightly crush with a rolling pin—a food
processor tends to chop the nuts too finely.
