Artichoke And Asiago Stuffed Chicken Recipes

STUFFED ASIAGO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Combine Asiago cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, bread crumbs, parsley, and Kalamata olives in a bowl for the filling. Place about 1/4 of the filling on the center of each chicken breast. Roll up jelly-roll style, securing the edges with toothpicks to keep the chicken breasts from unrolling. Rub the top of each chicken breast with olive oil, place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook until mushrooms start to brown, about 4 minutes. Add thyme leaves and white wine, stirring and deglazing the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook until sauce starts to slightly thicken. Add 1/2 cup Asiago cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat immediately; overcooking the Asiago cheese will create a lumpy, stringy sauce.
• Slice each chicken breast into 1/2-inch thick slices, and drizzle with Asiago sauce. Garnish with thyme and serve immediately.

ARTICHOKE AND ASIAGO STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet set over medium heat; cook spinach for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender and wilted. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Squeeze spinach to remove any excess moisture. Mix together Asiago and artichoke dip, Roasted Chicken Base, lemon zest and spinach; set aside.
• Without cutting all the way through, slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, keeping edge intact so it opens like a book. Place sheet of plastic wrap on top; pound chicken to even 1/2-inch thickness. Stuff each breast with spinach mixture. Secure with toothpicks. Season with pepper.
• Place chicken on parchment paper-lined baking sheet; bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced. Let stand for 5 minutes; remove toothpicks before serving.
• Toss together greens, lemon juice and remaining oil. Serve chicken with salad.
