Ingredients

• 12 pieces Canned or frozen artichoke hearts
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 3

If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them completely; if using canned, drain and rinse to remove any brine. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Mix the stuffing ingredients well until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Gently open each artichoke heart slightly, creating space in the center for the stuffing.

Step 7

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into each artichoke heart, pressing gently to fill them completely without breaking the structure.

Step 8

Arrange the stuffed artichoke hearts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the stuffed artichoke hearts.

Step 10

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the baking dish, ensuring the liquid stays at the bottom and doesn’t saturate the stuffing.

Step 11

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep the artichokes moist during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, covered.

Step 13

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the artichokes are heated through.

Step 14

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
