CRISPY ARTICHOKE PESTO-STUFFED CHICKEN



Crispy Artichoke Pesto-Stuffed Chicken image

Pesto transforms a simple Italian-inspired dish into something special. And since it's packed with flavor, the pesto only needs a few other ingredients -- artichokes, Parmesan and provolone cheese -- to make a filling fit for these crispy, golden brown chicken cutlets.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 12-ounce jar marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup pesto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
6 thin chicken cutlets (4 to 6 ounces each, pounded to 1/8 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sliced provolone, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a baking rack.
  • Combine the artichoke hearts, pesto and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 12 pulses. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and arrange them pounded-side up on a work surface. Divide the provolone evenly among the cutlets, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges, then top evenly with the pesto and artichoke filling. Starting at the short end of each cutlet, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a wooden skewer and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Put the eggs in a second shallow dish and beat until very loose. Mix the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan in a third shallow dish. Coat the chicken roll-ups first in the flour, then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off. Last, coat fully with the breadcrumb mixture and transfer to a plate.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put 3 of the roll-ups in the skillet seam-side down and cook, flipping as needed, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the remaining roll-ups in the same method, then transfer to the baking sheet. Bake the roll-ups until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the skewers before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the artichoke pesto, use fresh artichoke hearts and basil. If you don't have fresh artichoke hearts, you can use canned or jarred artichoke hearts. Just make sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • When making the garlic naan bread, use a good quality naan bread. You can find naan bread at most grocery stores. If you can't find naan bread, you can use pita bread or flatbread instead.
  • To make the pizza, you can use any type of cheese that you like. Mozzarella cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, or a blend of cheeses.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a baking sheet. Just make sure to preheat the baking sheet before baking the pizza.
  • Serve the pizza hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish the pizza with additional basil leaves or Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Conclusion:

This artichoke pesto and garlic naan bread pizza is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The artichoke pesto is flavorful and creamy, and the garlic naan bread is crispy and chewy. The two flavors complement each other perfectly.
