Ingredients

1 cup boiling water

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil

2 tsp olive oil, divided

1/2 cup chopped shallots, divided

1-1/2 tsp sugar

3 garlic cloves, minced

2-1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, divided

1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese

2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

3/4 tsp salt, divided

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1/4 tsp dried thyme

2 tsp cornstarch

2 tsp water

Directions

Combine boiling water and tomatoes in a bowl; cover and let stand 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and finely chop.

Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup shallots, sugar, and garlic; cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Spoon into a bowl; stir in 1-1/2 tsp vinegar.

Combine chopped tomatoes, shallot mixture, cheese, basil, and 1/4 tsp salt, stirring well.

Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket.

Stuff about 2 Tbsp cheese mixture into each pocket. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.

Heat 1tsp oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.

Remove chicken from pan; cover and keep warm.

Add broth, remaining shallots, 2 Tbsp vinegar, and thyme; bring to a boil.

Combine cornstarch and water, stirring with a whisk. Add cornstarch mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until sauce is slightly thick, stirring constantly.

Serve sauce over chicken.
