Directions
Season insides of pounded chicken breasts with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine rice, tomatoes, cheese, basil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spoon rice mixture on top of pounded chicken breasts; fold over and secure sides with wooden picks. Wipe off outsides of chicken breasts with paper towel.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook stuffed chicken breasts in hot oil 1 minute on each side or just until golden brown. Transfer chicken to shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
