Artichoke Chicken
I saw this recipe posted on a message board, then tracked it down to All Recipes online. To reduce the fat, I modified the ingredients a bit. In this recipe, I can't tell the difference!
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese (if you can, use Parm you grate yourself or, failing that, shreds from the dairy case instead of the kind in a shaker canister
- ¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- ¼ cup reduced-fat or nonfat sour cream
- ground black pepper to taste (I use a good half-teaspoon)
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- salt and pepper
- flour for dredging
- olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- In a bowl, mix together the artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and pepper.
- Blend the flour with salt and pepper to season.
- Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. While it heats, lightly dredge the chicken in the flour.
- Sauté the chicken quickly, just until lightly browned on both sides; transfer to a baking dish.
- Spoon the artichoke mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear. (Do not overcook)
- Enjoy!
