Chicken Fried Steak - Awesome Recipe

I wish I could claim this recipe as my own, but I can't. I found it in Sandra Lee's Semi Homemade cookbook and I LOVE it! I also use this same recipe to fry chicken. My family loves it. It is so easy. The gravy is to die for. Give it a try. (I also don't have a cast iron skillet and it works fine. The trick is to get the oil nice and hot before adding the steak). It comes out crunchy and soooo flavorful.

2 tsps. olive oil - divided

3/4 cups artichoke hearts cut up(I use the tall jar of marinated)

1/4 cup green onions

1/4 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese

1 tsp. herbs de provence (sale at grocery store in spice sections)

1/4 tsp. salt divided

1/4 tsp. pepper - divided

4 4oz. chicken fillets (boneless and skinless)

1 cup chicken broth

2 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. corn starch

Heat 1 tsp. oil in skillet over med. heat.

Add artichokes and green onions saute 4 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, stir in cheese, 1/2 tsp. herbes de provence, 1/8 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper.

Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each breast half to form a pocket. Stuff 2 tablespoons artichoke mixture into each pocket.

Heat 1 tsp. oil in large skillet over med. heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper, cover and cook on each side (about 6 minutes or until golden brown and done.) Remove from pan.

Add 1/2 tsp. herbs de provence and broth to pan, bring to a boil. Combine juice and cornstarch; add to broth mixture, stirring with a whisk. Cook 1 minute or until thickish. Return chicken to pan, cover and cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

ENJOY!
