Artichoke-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • 6 4 oz skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1 dash nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Paprika

    • Instructions:

    4. Do not cut in half.
    5. Set aside while you make the stuffing.
    6. In a food processor, place the garlic, artichoke hearts, egg yolk, cream, bread crumbs, nutmeg, and about 1/4 cup of parsley.

    8. Process to mix, but do not puree.
    9. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing in each breast pocket.

    12. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
    13. Sprinkle with paprika.
    14. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.
