Baked Chicken With Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

This is another great recipe for all of you who are counting points. The recipe calls for the sauce to be poured over the baked chicken, but my family prefers to use the sauce as a dip....it is even great with toasted bread. Now, if you are counting those WW points, this is a 4 ounce serving for 4 points....but of course, you know you can't eat that bread....darn it!!!!
