I was enjoying some artichoke and asiago dip I had purchased in the grocery store and thought to myself...I really want to stuff this in my chicken breast I'm making for dinner 😉 so I did, although I decided to make the dip from scratch. This chicken was so tasty and reminded me of my popular garlic bacon & cheese stuffed chicken. Simple dinners that paired with a salad are nice and low in points. This artichoke and asiago stuffed chicken breast is just 2SP on blue & purple, 5Sp green.
Artichoke & asiago stuffed chicken
2SP blue & purple, 5SP green/6PP
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast *for freestyle the weight does not matter but for old SP/PP I based it on 5oz chicken breast
- 4 oz artichoke oil drained and chopped *My jar was 6oz but I only needed 4oz of it which was approx ⅓ cup
- ½ cup non fat plain greek yogurt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 heaping tablespoon shredded asiago cheese
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- FOR COATING
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon flour
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375, cover a baking sheet with some parchment paper and lightly spray.
- In a small bowl mix together your chopped and drained artichoke, yogurt, pepper, onion & garlic powder.
- Whisk your egg in a bowl, sprinkle your flour on a flat surface (I used a flat plate) mix your breadcrumbs, italian seasoning and garlic powder together and also place on a flat plate.
- Heat your 2 teaspoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Cut open 1 side of your chicken and spoon in ¼ of your artichoke/yogurt mixture, sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon of asiago cheese on top then close chicken breast *feel free to use toothpicks, I did not use them. Repeat for remaining chicken breasts.
- Coat your stuffed chicken breast in the flour, then dip in egg and then roll both sides in breadcrumbs.
- Sear the chicken breasts in the heated pan for 1 minute on each side then place on baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
- Serve warm. The chicken breast will freeze well.

Hi there, my breakdown is asiago 6, breadcrumbs 3, four 1, oil 3.. products can vary, you might live in one country and me another, the flour I only counted for 1.5Tbsl as you don't use it all.. and my cheese is from a local grocery store here in Canada, you go with what you feel best going with

So good! I sautéd some fresh spinach and added it to my Asiago mixture; delish!

Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂

I also just used Artichoke and Asiago dip from Superstore, added sautéed spinach and it turned out great.
2 tbsp = 2 smart points
