Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
½ cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
½ cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
6 canned artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained, and chopped
1 red bell pepper, bottled, roasted, rinsed, drained, and chopped
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
3 quarts water
6 cups mixed baby greens
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons extravirgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir until well blended.
Step 2
Slice each breast half lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying breast flat. Place each breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle chicken with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Step 3
Divide artichoke mixture into 4 equal portions; spoon each portion down center of each breast half, leaving a 1/2-inch border at each end. Fold sides over filling.
Step 4
Place a 2-foot-long sheet of heavy-duty plastic wrap on a work surface with 1 long side hanging over the counter’s edge 2 inches. Place a stuffed breast half, seam side down, on the end farthest from you; tightly roll the chicken toward you, jelly-roll fashion. Twist the ends in opposite directions to form a cylinder. Tie plastic wrap in tight knots against the chicken on each end. Trim off excess wrap close to the knots. Place a second 2-foot-long sheet of heavy-duty plastic wrap on the work surface; place rolled chicken on wrap, and repeat procedure. Repeat with remaining breast halves.
Step 5
Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large stockpot; add chicken. Simmer 15 minutes (do not boil), turning occasionally. Remove from water, and let stand 10 minutes before unwrapping and cutting into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Step 6
Combine greens, juice, olive oil, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; toss well. Place about 1 cup greens mixture on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 chicken breast half.
