1. Heat ½ teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion; saute 30 minutes or until golden brown. Add sliced garlic; saute 5 minutes. Stir in ⅓ cup wine; cook 5 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Spoon onion mixture into a bowl; let cool. Stir in Brie, salt, and pepper. 2. Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff about 1½ tablespoons of the onion mixture into each pocket. 3. Heat ½ teaspoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; saute 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from skillet. Set aside; keep warm. 4. Add ⅓ cup wine, minced onion, sage, and minced garlic to skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil, and cook 7 minutes or until reduced to ¾ cup. Return chicken to skillet; cover and simmer 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve sauce with chicken.
Garnish with fresh sage, if desired. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 3 tablespoons sauce).
