    Recipe Introduction


    4 servings
    6 points per serving

    List of Ingredients




    4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
    2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, divided
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    Freshly ground pepper to taste
    2/3 cup shredded fontina cheese, preferably aged
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), trimmed of fat
    1/2 cup white wine
    1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    4 teaspoons all-purpose flour

    Recipe



    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.
