Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 14 ounces artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and halved)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Add the artichoke hearts, dried oregano, dried basil, and sugar (if using). Stir well to incorporate the ingredients.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon a bit of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm over rice, pasta, or alongside a piece of crusty bread.
