Stuffing:
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
2 Tbsp pine nuts, slightly toasted
1 cup frozen spinach, chopped
1/2 cup fontina cheese, shredded
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp butter, melted

Combine stuffing ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.  Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap.

Roll the breast, tucking the opposite side underneath. Season top of chicken breast (skin side) with salt and pepper.   Roast in oven for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. Serve immediately.
