2day's recipe: Artichoke and Tomato Chicken

Let's face it, I absolutely love pasta and Italian food.  Really.  There is no way I could cut it out of my life.  Here is a lovely stuffed chicken recipe for you to try.  This is another one I switch up a lot.  Change the stuffing, sauce, etc. 
Enjoy ;-)

Artichoke and Tomato Chicken


Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
4 fresh tomatoes diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
6 artichoke hearts drained and chopped
2 red bell peppers chopped
1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese cubed
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded
2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, artichoke hearts and red peppers. Cook until just hot, then remove from heat. transfer to a large bowl and toss together with mozzarella cubes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay out the pounded breasts and spoon filling onto the center, leaving an inch on each side. Adjust filling as you roll so as not to over stuff. Place them seam side down into a 2 quart baking dish. cover with marinara sauce. Place lid onto dish or cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is cooked through. You'll love it!

Yields: 6 Servings
