Creamy Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Tomato Parmesan Sauce
I have been wanting to make this recipe for Creamy Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Tomato Parmesan Sauce for a very long time. I’m so excited to share it with you!
Two years ago, my husband and I went on a little date night to see Jurassic World. Before the movie, we stopped at a restaurant and he ordered a sundried tomato stuffed chicken. I had a bite, it was amazing so I went to the specials board and took a photo. That photo has been transferred to two phones since then and I FINALLY made it.
I’m sure this is going to come as a huge surprise to you (insert sarcasm here) but I’m not a formal cook. I don’t do things by the book.
So when I flattened the chicken breasts, I laid the chicken between two pieces of parchment paper and used a heavy bottomed skillet to smack the heck out of it. If you’re fancy, you’ll use a kitchen mallet. I smashed it until it was about 1/4″ to 1/2 inch thick. There is no right or wrong, if it’s thicker it simply means you have to cook it longer.
After I spread the cream cheese and topped the chicken breasts with sun-dried tomatoes and marinated artichokes I folded it up and stabbed it a whole bunch with toothpicks. I went a little overboard with the toothpicks, but it worked! Just remember to take them out when it serve it. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I swallowed a little piece of toothpick, but if you ever ate with me you’d expect it. I inhale my food, especially when it’s as delicious as this sundried tomato stuffed chicken.

Creamy Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Tomato Parmesan Sauce
Servings 4
Ingredients
Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 marinated sundried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts cut
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
Creamy Tomato Parmesan Sauce
- 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Sandwich the raw chicken breast in between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten with a mallet (or in my case, a heavy pan). You want the chicken to be an even thickness and roughly 1/4" thick.
- On each chicken breast spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese and divide the artichokes and sundried tomatoes between them all.
- Fold the chicken breast in half and set in place with toothpicks (cut off the ends of the toothpicks that stick out).
- Heat a large heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Brown the chicken on each side, roughly 4-5 minutes per side. Set the chicken aside on a clean plate.
- Add all of the ingredients of the sauce to the pan, heat through.
- Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts back to the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Serve over broccoli, pasta, or enjoy with a side salad.

My favourite chicken meal is chicken fried rice with lots of veggies.
My favourite chicken recipe is chicken & stuffing bake. Like you I usually overdo the toothpicks! You can just use Uncle Bens, stovetop or make your own stuffing. I pound the chicken breasts out to about 1/2″, add stuffing, roll them up and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Drizzle a little sun dryed tomato pesto over the top if you like before serving. Goes well with baked potatoes and carrots!
I have made this before! It is good…I should play around with it a bit and post it. YUM! Thanks for the reminder.
My favorite is my mom’s homemade Jalapeño Chicken. It’s amazing!
