Preparation

Step 1

To prepare filling, combine first 7 ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350°.

To prepare chicken, place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Divide and spread filling evenly over chicken breast halves. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Tuck in sides; place chicken, seam side down, in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Pour wine over chicken. Cover dish with foil.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, basting chicken with wine every 10 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Strain wine mixture through a sieve over a bowl; discard solids. Serve wine mixture over chicken.
