CRISPY ARTICHOKE PESTO-STUFFED CHICKEN
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

Steps:
- Special equipment: six 6-inch wooden skewers
- 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 ¼ 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 ¼-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 ¼ 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.

PESTO ARTICHOKE CHICKEN OVER RICE
This is an adaptation of my Artichoke Chicken with Rice recipe (#183814). The pesto saves time on mixing up seasonings, and lends a wonderfully rich flavor to the rice. PLEASE NOTE: Due to comments on this and my similar recipe I've noted that you need to use converted or brown rice for this to turn out right.

ARTICHOKE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is something I came up with one night. I love stuffed chicken breast, but I wanted something different. Serve this with vegetables of choice, warm bread and a nice tossed salad. You can leave the italian seasoning and red onion off the top, if you wish, but I thought it nice... just experimenting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Mix next 7 ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup mozz cheese for the topping.
- Place 1 Tbsp of filling on each opened breast and fold over gently.

- Take out and top each breast with 1 Tbsp of mozz cheese, a bit of reserved minced red onion and italian seasoning.
- Put back in the oven for 5 min, or until cheese just starts to melt.
Tips:
- To ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, pound them to an even thickness before stuffing and baking.
- To prevent the artichoke filling from becoming dry, make sure to drain the artichoke hearts well before mixing them with the other ingredients.
- For a crispier crust, brush the chicken breasts with olive oil before baking.
- To add more flavor to the filling, consider adding a handful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
- If you don't have pesto on hand, you can make your own by blending together fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic.
