  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2/3 cup shredded fontina cheese, preferably aged

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon rosemary; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool; stir in fontina.

2. Meanwhile, cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of each chicken breast half, nearly through to the opposite side. Stuff each breast with 1/4 cup of the onion-cheese mixture.

3. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

4. Add wine and the remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Whisk broth and flour in a bowl until smooth; add to the pan, reduce heat to low and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Cook, covered, until the chicken is just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, arguably the most versatile cut of chicken, are very low in fat, only 1 to 2 grams of fat per serving. Conveniently, one 4- to 5-ounce breast, tender removed, yields a perfect 3-ounce cooked portion. When preparing, trim any excess fat from the outer edge of the breast.

Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of

the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken fingers."

A New Favorite

Tried it and absolutely loved it! The chicken is tender and moist and full of flavor. I added a pinch of rosemary on top of each chicken breast before I browned them. GREAT recipe!

Great recipe

not sure what the other comments were about, but I tried this recipe and it was great. If you put the cheese and the onions in the chicken it makes it moist and so delicious. Don't worry about the other comments

very delicious

Sauteed onions with melted fontina is just delicious with chicken. One pinch of pepper is fine, and I Just shredded fontina cheese on each piece, until it was covered, just like a parmagian style.Use common sense and do it to your tastes.
