Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup prepared basil pesto
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Soak sun dried tomatoes in chicken broth.
Cook chicken in oil with garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until done.
Stir cornstarch into a couple of tablespoons of chicken broth. Stir remaining chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, pine nuts, and basil into the skillet with the chicken. Mix cornstarch mixture into the sauce, and cook until thickened. Add feta a few minutes before serving.
