Asiago Artichoke Chicken Florentine Recipes

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.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE ARTICHOKE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes; pasta will be slightly undercooked.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Drain pasta and broccoli. Run under cold water and drain again. Add to the onion mixture along with spinach, cooked chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Italian cheese.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Slowly whisk in flour; cook and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Add enough milk to thin the sauce enough so it will coat all ingredients in the bowl; it will thicken more in the oven.
• Pour sauce into the bowl and mix until well combined. Transfer contents to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
