Chicken with Tomatoes and Capers - Marilynn's Creation

Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 Tablespoons butter
1½ cup of bread crumbs (three cheeses)
1 teaspoons basil

Sauce:
½ medium red onion diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 medium tomatoes diced
1/3 cup of bottled roasted red peppers diced
2 Tablespoons capers
1 Tablespoon pesto
1 cup of white wine
1 teaspoon basil

Pound chicken breasts between layers of plastic wrap to ¼ inch thickness. Melt butter. Stir together basil with bread crumbs. Dip chicken breasts in butter and then in bread crumbs/basil mix. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

While chicken is baking, saute red onion in olive oil for about 3 minutes or until tender. Add diced tomatoes, red peppers, capers, pesto, white wine and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes on medium low heat until thickens. Remove chicken from oven, spoon sauce over top and serve.
