2 tablespoons capers

4 (about 1 1/4 pounds total) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Directions

COMBINE 1/4 cup cheese, pesto and capers in small bowl.

CUT each chicken breast horizontally three-fourths of the way through the meat creating a pocket for stuffing, being careful to not cut all the way through. Place 2 tablespoons pesto mixture into each breast pocket. Secure with wooden picks. Place chicken in prepared baking pan. Drizzle lemon juice over chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

PREPARE pasta according to package directions.

REMOVE wooden picks from chicken; cut into slices and serve over prepared pasta.

Tip: May assemble stuffed chicken ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Before baking, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with sauce and cheese.

Wow! So much flavor and so easy to put together. I'm not much of a cook, but you'd never know it by the taste of this dish.
