Chancery Artichoke Dip
Chancery restaurant has two locations in Milwaukee, two in Racine and one each in Waukesha, Mequon and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

Makes 4 bowls of dip, 1 to 2 appetizer servings per bowl.

1 can artichoke hearts -- (about 14 ounces) drained
8 ounces cream cheese -- room temperature
1 cup shredded (not grated) Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper -- seeded, finely diced
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain unsweetened
yogurt
7 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon seasoned salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take three whole artichoke hearts and quarter. Set aside.

Chop remaining artichokes and mix with remaining ingredients using electric mixer. Carefully spoon one-fourth of mixture into each of four oven-proof dishes that are about 1 inch deep and 5 inches wide. Smooth top of mixture in dishes, being careful not to get any on the sides, as it will burn. Arrange three artichoke sections artfully atop each dish.

Bake in preheated oven 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Serve with a small round loaf of whole-grain or herb bread.
