Chicken Stuffed with Kalamata Pesto, Feta, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

This dinner just kind of came up. I didn’t really plan it in advance. I was thinking I’d put the pesto, feta, and tomatoes on top of the chicken breasts, but once I saw how ugly the pesto was, I decided stuffing the chicken would be better. It turned out moist and bursting with yummy, salty flavors. I will most definitely be making this again!
