Provided by Melissa Erdelac

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 chicken breasts, (butterflied with a deep slit (see recipe notes))
½ tablespoon olive oil, (plus more for drizzling)
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
8 ounces fresh baby spinach
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
14 ounce canned artichokes, (chopped)
4 ounces cream cheese, (cubed)
½ cup fresh parmesan, (grated)
½ cup shredded mozzarella
garlic salt
Italian seasoning
paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large nonstick skillet heat ½ tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add half of the spinach, salt, and pepper. Stir until the spinach is wilted. Continue to add handfuls of spinach until all spinach is wilted. TIP: Placing a lid over the skillet helps the spinach cook down faster.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the artichokes and cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in both mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Place butterflied chicken breasts (see recipe notes) on the prepared baking sheet. On top of each chicken breast drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and paprika. Use your hands to spread olive oil and seasonings evenly over the top of chicken breasts.
  • Open the chicken and evenly divide spinach artichoke filling. Close the chicken (like a closing a book), and bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts. For best results, use a thermometer to make sure chicken reaches a temperature of 165ºF.

ARTICHOKE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST



Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breast image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 cup chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine, divided
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot add the onions and saute until translucent. Stir in the artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, then add the salt, pepper and garlic. When the garlic begins to lightly brown, deglaze with 1/4 cup of the white wine. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter, allow it to melt, then toss in the Parmesan and parsley.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool before stuffing the chicken breast.
  • Rinse, trim and pound out chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thick. Do not over-pound as holes in the chicken will make it difficult for the chicken to retain the stuffing.
  • Put 1/4 of the stuffing mixture at 1 end of a chicken breast. Gentle roll the chicken breast folding the ends in to help keep the stuffing from coming out during the cooking process. Secure the chicken roll with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and stuffing.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, with the secured side of the chicken first, to insure the roll with stay together. Brown the chicken on all sides, add remaining butter, and deglaze with remaining white wine.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board and discard the toothpicks. Slice each breast on a bias into 5 pieces and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining pan drippings, garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and serve.

While the classic recipe is great, sometimes it’s fun to switch things up and try different variations. In this article, we’ll be sharing some valuable tips on how to make artichoke stuffed chicken breast with a different “hat” recipe.

Choose Your “Hat”

The first step in making a new variation of artichoke stuffed chicken breast is to choose your “hat.” The hat refers to the ingredients that you’ll be using to top the chicken breast after it’s stuffed with artichokes. Some popular options include:
1. Sun-dried Tomato and Feta
This topping is perfect for adding a tangy and salty flavor to the chicken breast. Simply mix together some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the chicken breast.
2. Pesto and Mozzarella
For a more Italian-inspired flavor, try topping your chicken breast with a dollop of pesto and some shredded mozzarella cheese.
3. Bacon and Cheddar
If you’re looking for something a bit more indulgent, bacon and cheddar make an excellent topping for artichoke stuffed chicken breast. Simply cook some bacon until crispy and sprinkle it over the top of the chicken breast along with some shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Spinach and Parmesan
For a healthier option, try topping your chicken breast with some sautéed spinach and grated Parmesan cheese.

Prepare Your Artichoke Stuffing

No matter what “hat” you choose for your artichoke stuffed chicken breast, the next step is to prepare your artichoke stuffing. Here’s what you’ll need: - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped - 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup of plain breadcrumbs - 1/4 cup of chopped parsley - Salt and pepper - Olive oil To make the stuffing, simply mix together the chopped artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the artichoke mixture, using toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the opening.

Cooking Your Chicken Breast

Now that your artichoke stuffed chicken breast is prepped and ready to go, it’s time to cook it. Here’s how:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
This is the ideal temperature to cook chicken breast evenly and ensure that it stays juicy and tender.
2. Heat some olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides, then add it to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
3. Transfer the chicken breast to a baking dish.
Make sure the dish is large enough to accommodate all of the chicken breasts without overcrowding.
4. Top each chicken breast with your chosen “hat” ingredients.
Spread the ingredients evenly over the top of the chicken breast, making sure to cover it completely.
5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken breast is cooked through.
You can check for doneness by cutting into one of the chicken breasts and ensuring that the juices run clear.

Serving Your Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Breast

Once your chicken breast is fully cooked, it’s time to serve it up. Here are some tips for plating and garnishing:
1. Slice the chicken breast crosswise into thick medallions.
This will allow your guests to see the artichoke stuffing inside.
2. Serve on a bed of wilted greens or roasted vegetables.
This will add some color and texture to the plate and make it seem more like a complete meal.
3. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
This will add some extra flavor and make the dish look more appealing.
4. Serve with a glass of white wine.
Artichoke stuffed chicken breast pairs well with a crisp, light white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Conclusion

Artichoke stuffed chicken breast is a classic dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. But with a few simple tweaks, you can create a unique and exciting version of this dish that will impress your dinner guests. So go ahead and try out one of these “hat” recipes – you might just discover a new family favorite!
