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!

Tips:

- For a crispier crust, brush the chicken breasts with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- To save time, use pre-cooked artichoke hearts. Canned or jarred artichoke hearts are widely available and can be used straight away.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings. Try using other vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes.
