- 1/3 cup chopped water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness.
- In a food processor, combine spinach, basil, garlic, oil, cheese, walnuts and broth. Cover and process until blended. Stir in tomatoes, artichoke hearts, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spread over chicken. Starting at a short side, roll up and secure with toothpicks.
