SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken image

My husband likes to order a particular chicken entree at a local restaurant, so I created a lighter version he can enjoy at home. The sun-dried tomatoes are wonderful combined with the goat cheese. We serve it with a green salad and Italian bread. -Anna Rhyne of Anderson, South Carolina
