Last week I cut up same type of chicken and sautee'd with butter in a pan. Then deglazed pan with white wine (just enough to get the bits off the bottom of the pan) and then added a little cream (well, half and half) and some pesto that I had and some lemon and then tossed with pasta.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts ? cup basil pesto ? cup ricotta 1 cup panko Juice of 1 lemon ? cup flour 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning Sea salt and cracked pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation To Prepare: Preheat oven to 350?
Combine flour and seasonings. Separately mix pesto, ricotta, panko and lemon juice; set aside. Lay one breast on a clean cutting board. Use a paring knife inserting it gently into the thickest tip of the breast. Make a horizontal incision in the breast, be careful to not cut through to the sides. Use your fingers to deepen the cavity made by the incision. Repeat process with remaining breasts.
Fill a pastry or Ziploc-style bag with basil-ricotta mixture. Trim tip of bag then insert it into the the cut side of the chicken breasts squeezing in an even amount of filling into each. Dredge stuffed breasts in flour mixture, evenly coating each side.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium. Lay each breast top side down in the oil, brown for approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Gently turn chicken over then place skillet on middle rack of oven and bake an additional 20 minutes.
(if your breasts aren't fat enough- then flatten them out and put the mixture in the middle, roll them up & secure with toothpicks)

I just melt the butter and garlic in the microwave together. Saves time and one less pot to clean and tastes the same.
