Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Optionally, pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce heat to medium.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 8

Stir in the marinated artichoke hearts, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add the Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 11

Simmer everything together for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.

Step 12

Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Step 14

Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
