Additional Ingredients

Preparation

Béchamel Sauce Preparation

1. Make the Béchamel Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour, whisking constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Pulled Chicken Preparation

2. Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

3. Assemble the Dish

In a large bowl, combine the pulled chicken, marinated artichoke hearts, and roasted red peppers. Mix well. In a separate skillet, cook the pancetta until crispy. Add the crispy pancetta to the chicken mixture. In a serving dish or individual plates, layer the chicken mixture and top with béchamel sauce, slices of provolone cheese, and a handful of baby arugula. Drizzle with lemon oil vinaigrette and finish with garlic butter.
