Olive-Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I haven't made this in a long time but now that we're going back to a lowfat diet, I will. There's a star on the recipe card, so we must like it! There's a note on the card to be sure and use firm olives packed in saltwater or vinegar, NOT in oil. I would double the stuffing and use regular sized breasts, pounded to 1/4 inch. A 3 oz breast must come from a pygmie chicken or something. :) This came from Weight Watchers Simply The Best Italian, and I'm submitting it for ZWTII. Enjoy!
