Spinach Artichoke Chicken Breasts Food

SPINACH ARTICHOKE CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375º F.
• Grease a baking dish (I use olive oil).
• I like to tenderize my chicken breasts by going over them a few times with a meat mallet, but you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
• Place the chicken breasts in the greased baking dish, and season them with salt and pepper (both sides).
• Bake the chicken for 15 minutes.
• Make sure to drain the spinach really well - I squeeze mine with my hands to make sure I've gotten out as much liquid as possible.
• Mix together the drained artichoke hearts, drained spinach, chopped shallots, garlic, yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and Gruyere.
• After the chicken has cooked for 15 minutes, pour the spinach/ artichoke mixture on top of the chicken breasts, and cook, uncovered, for 25 more minutes.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

SPINACH-ARTICHOKE STUFFED PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach. Mix in a medium size bowl the spinach, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and the asiago, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
• Combine the chopped pecans, corn flake crumbs and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
• Whisk together the 2 eggs with the milk in another shallow bowl.
• Mix the flour, cayenne pepper, salt and Italian seasoning in a third shallow bowl.
• Pound chicken breasts to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
• Bread each chicken breast by coating each with flour mixture, then dipping into egg mixture. Coat one side of the chicken breast with the pecan mixture.
• Put equal amounts of spinach/artichoke mixture on each chicken breast on the side that does not have the pecan coating. Roll up the chicken breast and secure with a toothpick. Place in casserole dish that has been drizzled with olive oil.
• Bake in oven preheated to 350°F for 40 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.

KETO SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Microwave spinach in a medium bowl until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
• Return spinach to the bowl. Mix in cream cheese, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness, no more than 1-inch-thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts in the hot oil, 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Place chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Spread spinach-artichoke mixture on top of each breast.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 22 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top breasts with the mozzarella cheese and continue baking until cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and stir until slightly softened, about 30 seconds, then add the artichokes and cook, stirring, until the artichokes are hot and the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir, then add the cream and more black pepper, if desired, then stir again. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then add the Parmesan and cook for a minute to thicken.
• Add the pimientos, spinach and lemon juice, then stir until the spinach has wilted, for a minute or so. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, spooning a little sauce over the top. Garnish with torn basil leaves and serve with warm bread.
