This one is a keeper. Only change is I cut back the sun-dried tomatoes abit. Mine weren't oil-packed so I softened them in hot water & sliced for the stuffing. I had fresh basil so I sub'd & doubled the amount for the dried. Great flavours & fairly easy to put together, thanks for sharing.

Wow, I can't believe this great little recipe has been missed by so many! A thousand people ought to try it. I didn't have prosciutto, so I substituted with some flamin-hot Italian pepperoni that our mild-happy household wasn't eating. It was perfect in the chicken. Also used fresh diced tomato cuz I didn't have the sun-dried in the house. Added a little salt -- I guessed the prosciutto has more salt than the pepperoni -- and it was very, very delicious. Will make this recipe regularly. It's a little like pizza in chicken! Even 2 1/2 year old Danielle votes 5 stars.
