Step 1
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add shallots and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until very soft, stirring frequently. Add Amazin Diced Prunes and cook for 5 minutes more.
Step 2
Make a horizontal slit in each chicken breast to form a large pocket. Place equal amounts of onion mixture and a piece of cheese inside each breast and secure with toothpicks; season with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in remaining butter on both sides. Tent with foil and cook for 10 minutes over low heat, turning once or twice.
Step 3
