Pesto-presto chicken - Rachael Ray

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons pine nuts
• 8-10 leaves basil, about a half a cup
• 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, a handful
• 1 5.4 ounce round of Boursin garlic and herb soft cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, a couple of handfuls
• 4 tablespoons EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt and pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 12 slices 1/2 inch thick of vine ripe tomato, 3 medium tomatoes 

Directions

Preheat oven to 450ºF. In a small pan over medium heat lightly toast the nuts then cool.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, pine nuts, Boursin cheese, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (about a handful), some salt and pepper. Process into a smooth paste. Reserve.

Butterfly each of the chicken breasts and pound them out lightly in a plastic bag with a dash of water using a skillet or meat mallet. Season both sides of the chicken and divide the herb-cheese mixture between the four breasts, placing a scoop on one half of each breast. Fold the flap over to enclose the cheese mixture.
Transfer the chicken pockets to a baking sheet and shingle 3 slices of tomato over each breast. Season with some salt and pepper, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons EVOO and sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano (about a handful). 
Bake the chicken pockets until cooked through and light golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

This turned out awesome. I made it following the recipe exactly. You can substitute the Parmigiano-Reggiano with regular Parm; the Parmigiano-Reggiano is very expensive and sometimes Shaw's doesn't carry it. I served this with a boxed rice pilaf (garlic flavored) and broccoli. So good :)
