STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS, FETA CHEESE, CAPERS, AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast halves into a plastic zipper bag. Shake the bottle of Italian dressing and pour into the bag. Seal the bag and shake to thoroughly coat the chicken with the dressing; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
• Remove the chicken breast halves and shake off excess marinade. Discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
• Mix together the artichoke hearts, olives, capers, and feta cheese in a bowl; spoon about 2 tablespoons of the feta mixture into the middle of each flattened chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast around the filling and secure with toothpicks. Place the rolled chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken has browned and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES WITH CAPERS AND PECORINO CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Add next 3 ingredients; stir 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl; cool. Stir in breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup cheese, and capers. Season stuffing with salt and pepper.
• Spoon 2 scant tablespoons bread stuffing into center of each prepared artichoke. Starting with bottom leaves of artichokes, gently pull each leaf outward from center and spoon in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon stuffing. Arrange artichokes in 13x9x2- inch glass baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Pour wine and broth into dish. Cover tightly with foil; bake until artichokes are tender when base is pierced with small sharp knife, about 1 hour. Spoon some cooking liquid over artichokes to moisten and serve.

CHEESE CAPERS

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended.
• Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture evenly over each muffin half; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese; cut into quarters.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or broil 3 inches from the heat 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

FETA CHEESE WITH TOMATO AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1.5-quart) baking dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
• Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, about 4 minutes (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.)
