- Equipment
- butcher's kitchen twine
- Marinade
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (butterflied)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon thyme (minced)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Stuffing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 1/2 ounces marinated artichoke hearts (reserve the marinade)
- 8 ounces roasted red peppers (canned)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons reserved artichoke marinade
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Butterfly chicken breasts if not already done so.
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and thyme and whisk.
- Place marinade and chicken breasts in a plastic bag and allow to marinate for at least half an hour.
- While chicken is marinating drain artichoke hearts (reserve marinade) and roasted bell peppers and roughly chop them.
- Mince the garlic.
- Add stuffing's olive oil to a saute pan and heat over medium high heat, before pan gets to hot add garlic. Do not brown garlic. Saute for a minute and then add the artichoke hearts.
- Cook for two minutes and then add the roasted red bell peppers and cook for an additional two minutes.
- Remove from heat, but while still warm incorporate the feta cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper, but be cautious with salt because feta cheese is extremely salty.
- Set aside and allow to cool.
- Next make the sauce by combining the sour cream, artichoke marinade, chives, and s&p. Set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat once chicken is done marinating.
- Remove chicken from marinade and wipe off any excess marinade.
- Stuff the chicken breasts with stuffing so that they are not overflowing and secure with butcher's twine so that stuffing will not fall out on grill.
- Grill for 15 minutes, time may vary on size of chicken breasts and grill.
- Once done remove from grill and use scissors or knife to cut off the twine.
- Serve immediately and top with sour cream sauce if desired.
