Baked Chicken and Artichoke Hearts

Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat
- 12 oz. package frozen artichoke hearts (or 1 15-oz. can)

- 2 cloves garlic minced

- 2 tbs. unsalted butter or ghee
- 1 lemon sliced, seeds removed

- salt + pepper
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In an oven-proof skillet, heat 2 tbs. olive oil over medium heat. season chicken breasts well with salt + pepper on both sides, then place “pretty” side down into warmed oil (be careful of splatters). Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3-4. remove chicken from pan.
- Add in artichoke hearts and shallots into same pan and cook until soft and golden, about 4 minutes. Add in minced garlic and let cook for 1 minute before adding in wine (or chicken broth) and butter. Add chicken back to pan and top with lemon slices before placing in oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes then let cool slightly before serving! top with parsley for a pretty presentation!

Loved this lemony flavorful dish. I used marinated artichoke hearts and boneless chicken thighs since that is what I had on hand. That resulted in longer browning time but otherwise I followed the recipe as written. My husband is extra fussy but he enjoyed it also. Delicious!
So glad to hear it Maureen! Thank you!
Did you thaw the artichokes first? Thanks!,
Hi Rich! Yes, if you’re using frozen artichokes I would place the bag into a bowl of hot water to help dethaw quickly. Then discard any extra water inside the bag once thawed! xx
This was delicious! We used marinated artichoke’s as well, and I think this added even more flavor. This buttery, lemony dish was just awesome, we will definitely make again!
Thank you so much, Karen!!
This is so good, I’m already making it again a week later. I added frozen green peas to it, because I had no parsley and it needed some color. Also made it a one pan meal.
Thank you so much!! I love the addition of peas! xx
Is the chicken covered while baking?
Hi Tara! No, the chicken remains uncovered while baking in oven. xx
Making this tomorrow!!
Let me know what you think!! xx
