Chicken In Tomato & White Wine Sauce

Thin sliced chicken cutlets sauteed in a white wine sauce with leeks and sun-dried tomatoes. Try to find sun-dried tomatoes that are not packed in oil, instead look for the ones that are soft and ready to eat, but depending on the brand, some may need to soak in warm water if they are very hard. A little goes a long way! Dinner in less than 20 minutes!
