ARTICHOKE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST, BUT WITH A DIFFERENT HAT
This is based on Recipe #350909, and I thought I would try it a bit differently one night. It's done basically the same, just roasted red bell pepper and Provolone cheese on top, instead of mozzarella. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.

- 4. With a very sharp small knife, cut a pocket horizontally into each breast. Do not cut in half.
- 5. Set aside while you make the stuffing.
- 6. In a food processor, place the garlic, artichoke hearts, egg yolk, cream, bread crumbs, nutmeg and about 1/4 cup of parsley.
- 7. Process to mix, but do not puree.
- 8. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing in each breast pocket.
- 9. Do not close the pocket-the stuffing will puff up and out a bit.
- 10. Place the stuffed breasts in the baking dish.
- 11. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
- 12. Sprinkle with paprika.
- 13. Bake 20 to 22 minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- For a crispy crust, coat the chicken breasts in breadcrumbs before pan-frying.
- To prevent the artichoke filling from becoming dry, add a bit of moisture, such as chicken broth or white wine.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes by hand.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
