- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbs. parsley, minced

If using oil packed tomatoes, drain and finely chop. If using dried tomatoes, cover tomatoes with boiling water in a bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain and finely chop. Place 2 Tbs. chopped tomatoes and half the lemon zest in a small bowl. Add butter, parsley and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Combine remaining tomatoes and zest in another bowl and mix thoroughly.
Using a sharp knife, cut horizontally through the center of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Do not cut all the way through. Divide tomato and lemon zest mixture into equal portions and spread in pocket of each chicken breast. Turn on broiler. Arrange chicken on a broiler pan and place 4 inches from heat source. Broil 5 minutes. Turn and broil another 4 minutes. Spread tomato and butter mixture over chicken breasts. Broil another 1-2 minutes, or until chicken is opaque throughout.
