Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons artichoke liquid from jar, packed in water
- Pinch black pepper
- Pinch salt
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 4 artichoke hearts packed in water (drained, small
- spinach
- Italian seasoning
For the greek yogurt sauce:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
- 4 artichoke hearts packed in water (drained, small
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/3 cup Romano cheese shredded, blend, 30 grams
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded, blend, 30 grams
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large container, whisk together the 3 Tbsp Greek yogurt with the garlic, artichoke liquid and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the chicken into the container and spoon the mixture over top until it's covered. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Once marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Wipe of any thick areas of yogurt from the chicken and slice a large pocket into the side of each breast using a sharp knife, making sure not to cut all the way through. Place as many spinach leaves as you can inside (I did 4 per breast) and then add 1 artichoke heart. Seal with toothpicks to keep the filling inside. Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian Seasoning.
- Grill until no longer pink inside, about 6-7 minutes per side. Flipping once. One cooked, place onto a plate and cover to let rest for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken rests, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small food processor (mine is 3 cups) and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides down as necessary.
- Serve the sauce over the chicken and DEVOUR.

Notes
- * I've also tried it with just plain Parmesan. It's still good, but the Romano really adds something!
