Prosciutto Wrapped, Feta & Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts

After gym class tonight it was back home to prepare dinner.  I’d decided on chicken breasts stuffed with feta and sundried tomatoes and wrapped in prosciutto (mainly because I had feta and sundried tomatoes to use up).  Recently I’ve taken to buying chicken breasts from
