Pollo e Carciofi
This is one of our favorite chicken dishes, from my, Mom. Our family has enjoyed this recipe for a long time. The chicken is very moist and tender if cooked at the right internal temperature. The marinated artichokes release a concentrated flavor when baked. The plump whole mushrooms also add more moisture. The homegrown carrots we picked from the greenhouse add color and sweetness. Recipe below.

2 organic boneless chicken breasts
1 egg beaten
panko breadcrumbs
12 fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup marinated artichokes
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

I have a hard time keeping my chicken moist, so I am going to try this one! The carrots sound fabulous, too! Janet
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, I would cook my chicken around 170 degrees some go a little lower, this will give you a moist tender chicken!
