artichoke crusted chicken

By lkoss

Ingredients

• 2 six-ounce chicken breasts, pounded thin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (I used canned artichoke hearts, but frozen ones that have been thawed would be fine)
• 1/3 cup grated white cheddar cheese
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Salt and pepper the chicken and then sauté each chicken breast in 1 tbsp olive oil on medium-high heat, for about 8-10 minutes, flipping once, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.  Set aside.

Mix together the mayonnaise, artichoke hearts and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.  Spread the mixture over the sauteed chicken breasts, and then broil at 400 degrees for about 3 minutes.  Do not take your eyes off them — broiling can lead to burning faster than you can imagine.  When the cheese is melted and bubbling and the tops are golden, remove and serve.
