- Salt and pepper the chicken breast and begin to layer the ingredients in the pocket: broccoli, eggplant, roasted pepper, mozzarella, basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Close the chicken and either tie together with kitchen twine or secure with toothpicks to keep the filling from falling out during cooking.
- In a large saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and saute the chicken for about 15 minutes each side on medium high heat.
- To make the white wine sauce, put the white wine and stock in a sauce pan and heat to a low boil.
- Lower the heat and add cornstarch, whisking away any lumps until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cook for approximately 10 minutes.
- Whisk in butter to give the sauce a nice sheen.
