Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Make an incision along the sides of the chicken breasts, but don't cut all the way through.
Mix basil, olives, feta cheese, garlic and sun-dried tomato paste in a bowl. Fill the insides of the chicken breasts with 1-2 T. of this mixture.
Wrap chicken breasts with 3-4 slices each of the prosciutto, making sure that the breasts are fully covered. Place breasts on a baking sheet.
Bake 18-20 minutes, turning once about halfway through.
Pea Puree:
Place the peas and garlic in a saucepan; bring to boil; simmer for 2 minutes; drain; place in a blender with the broth, mint and olive oil. Season to taste and pulse. Enjoy a little chunky or smooth.
Serve with the pea puree.
4 servings.
* You can substitute the sun-dried tomato paste with sun-dried tomatoes in oil and then blend in a food processor, if desired.
