Ingredients

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1 cup boiling water
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon golden raisins
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
2 teaspoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup minced fresh basil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
2 medium tomatoes, chopped

Directions

Place dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water; chop tomatoes and set aside.
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with rosemary, pepper and salt. In a small bowl, combine the spinach, raisins, cream cheese, pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes. Spread 1/4 cup spinach mixture over each chicken breast. Roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place flour in a shallow bowl; coat chicken with flour.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, brown chicken in oil. Add the broth, basil, garlic and reserved water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.

This is not a reader original nor a Taste of Home original recipe. I have been making this recipe for over 10 years from a recipe I got from a book called "Chicken Light". It tates amazing when served over basmati rice. It is a show stopper that you can make for your fmaily or impress even the most hard to please guests. I've tried variations of the 'stuffing' using different cheeses like feta with basil, chopped red peppers for sweetness (as I am not impressed with raisins in this recipe), and more! Don't be afraid to be creative with this one. :)
