one from real simple.

Serves 4
Hands-on Time: 20m
Total Time: 35m
Ingredients
  • 1 6.5-ounce jar artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 2 beefsteak tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 8 baguette slices, toasted (optional)
Directions
1. Mix the artichokes, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of the thyme in a small bowl.
2. Cut a 2-inch pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Stuff a quarter of the artichoke mixture into each pocket.
3. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
4. Heat grill or grill pan to medium. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side.

6. Slice the chicken, if desired, and serve with the tomato salad and baguette slices, if using.
