Method

In large ovenproof skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; cook leeks and thyme, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and bring to boil; cook, stirring, until no liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Mix in cheese, parsley and tomatoes. Set aside.

Cut chicken in half almost but not all the way through; open like book. Divide filling over 1 side of each breast. Fold over; secure edge with toothpicks. Brush with remaining oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In same skillet, brown chicken over medium-high heat. Bake in 425?F (220?C) oven until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes.
