• Mix next 7 ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup mozz cheese for the topping.
• Place 1 Tbsp of filling on each opened breast and fold over gently.
• Bake for 30 min or until chicken is done. (this could vary due to the thickness of the chicken breast and your oven).
• Take out and top each breast with 1 Tbsp of mozz cheese, a bit of reserved minced red onion and italian seasoning.
• Put back in the oven for 5 min, or until cheese just starts to melt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Combine mozzarella, garlic, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/4 cup mayo in large bowl. Add artichokes and spinach; mix lightly.
• Use sharp knife to make lengthwise slit in thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful to not cut through to opposite side of chicken. Fill pockets with spinach mixture; place on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Spread remaining mayo onto tops of chicken breasts. Combine cracker crumbs and remaining Parmesan; sprinkle over chicken.
• Bake 20 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Combine artichoke hearts, feta, bell pepper, green onion, oregano, and pepper in a bowl.
• Carefully loosen the skin on each chicken breast by running your fingers between the skin and the meat, creating a pocket. Stuff some of the artichoke mixture into each pocket. Place stuffed breasts in the prepared baking dish. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot add the onions and saute until translucent. Stir in the artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, then add the salt, pepper and garlic. When the garlic begins to lightly brown, deglaze with 1/4 cup of the white wine. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter, allow it to melt, then toss in the Parmesan and parsley.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool before stuffing the chicken breast.
• Rinse, trim and pound out chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thick. Do not over-pound as holes in the chicken will make it difficult for the chicken to retain the stuffing.
• Put 1/4 of the stuffing mixture at 1 end of a chicken breast. Gentle roll the chicken breast folding the ends in to help keep the stuffing from coming out during the cooking process. Secure the chicken roll with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and stuffing.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, with the secured side of the chicken first, to insure the roll with stay together. Brown the chicken on all sides, add remaining butter, and deglaze with remaining white wine.
• Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a cutting board and discard the toothpicks. Slice each breast on a bias into 5 pieces and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining pan drippings, garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Prepare the chicken: With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally without cutting all the way through; open like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound until 1/2 inch thick.
• Make the filling: Mash the garlic-and-herb cheese, artichoke heart, parsley, dill and lemon zest in a bowl. Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil in a separate bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with half of the lemon oil; top with the spinach. Spoon the filling over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll up the chicken toward the pointy end; tie with 3 pieces of kitchen twine. Brush with the remaining lemon oil.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken breasts, turning, until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then remove the twine and slice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic pepper. Place chicken in a greased baking dish, and cover evenly with artichoke mixture.

• Season chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. In thick side of each chicken breast, cut 3-inch-long pocket to within 1/4 inch of opposite side of breast. Spoon about 1/4 cup artichoke mixture into pocket in each chicken breast. Secure with toothpicks.
• In shallow dish, stir together flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with whisk. Place bread crumbs on sheet of waxed paper. Dip chicken into flour mixture, coating well; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.
