Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally through the middle, but not all the way through. Open the chicken breast like a book and pound it with a meat mallet until it's an even thickness.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture onto one half of each chicken breast, then fold the other half over to create a medallion. Secure with toothpicks.
5. Dip each chicken medallion into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken medallions and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Transfer the chicken medallions to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
8. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
