Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 5
Carefully stuff each chicken breast with the prepared artichoke-Parmesan mixture, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Secure the openings with toothpicks, if necessary, to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remember to remove any toothpicks.
Step 10
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and pair with your favorite side dishes.
