Ingredients

Scale

2 whole chicken breasts (4 breasts), cut in half horizontally

kosher salt

fresh ground pepper

olive oil for cooking

3/4 cup canned artichokes

1/4 cup pesto sauce

2 whole sweet red peppers, julienned

3 T. dry white wine, optional

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/3 cup parmesan, freshly grated

1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Take each half of breast and slice horizontally into 2 flat pieces, creating 8 pieces of chicken.

Season with salt and pepper.

In a skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil and brown both sides of seasoned chicken breasts.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Add more olive oil to the skillet if needed and reduce heat to medium low.

Sauté the red peppers for one minute and remove from the skillet.

Add the garlic and sauté for one minute.

Place the skillet, uncovered, in a 375°  oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
