Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can (14 oz) Canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove them and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the artichokes.

Step 10

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and artichokes.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot, spooning some of the sauce and artichokes over each chicken breast.
