Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix artichokes, cheese, tomatoes, and basil in medium bowl.
  • Using small sharp knife and working with 1 chicken breast at a time, cut 2-inch-long slit horizontally into 1 side of chicken breast. Move knife back and forth in slit to form pocket.
  • Divide 1 cup cheese mixture among chicken pockets (**Note: The remainder filling mixture would be great for a frittata, pasta, etc. ).
  • Press edges to seal. **Note 2: If bulging a lot, can close with a toothpick, which I usually do.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add chicken; cook 3-5 minutes.
  • Turn chicken over; transfer skillet to oven. Bake until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Let sit for 3-5 minutes before slicing.

    Hi Vickie! As I said on your main page, I made this last night with variations 'cause I used what I had on hand. I used regular canned artichoke hearts,(wish I had had marinated hearts) roasted red peppers, fresh minced garlic and fresh baby spinach leaves as the filler. It was very good...the only thing I would add next time is a thin sauce made by deglazing the pan over high heat with a mixture of chicken broth and white wine, reducing it to half and stirring in a little butter at the end. A good company dish! I don't rate recipes unless I try them, and I rate this a 5-forker!

    This has a Mediterranean feel to it. I love pairing
    artichokes, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Fontina cheese.

    This recipe could easily be converted into a pasta dish.
    Great post
