Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Using a knife, parallel to the cutting board, make a deep, 5cm long cut in the center of each chicken breast half to create a pocket.
Evenly fill the pockets with cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, securing with wooden toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour.

Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 seconds. Add the sauce and simmer, covered, for 6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the toothpicks.
Serve the chicken garnished with hot steamed escarole or spinach, if desired.
