While Artichoke Chicken was an instagram story win… {hence me finally posting it here!} it is 0 for 1 in the Hall household. The first time I made it, the kids loved it. The second time, they barely ate it. FWIW, I loved it both times. Just wanted to give full disclosure there.
I first had this dish at a MOPS table dinner. Our MOPS Mentor Mom made it and I looooved it. I’ve made a few tweaks. I also made a lot of Trader Joe’s swaps, so you will notice that here.
It’s tangy and fresh. It is also light, despite that delicious layer of baked cheese on top. I think this is a great dish to feed the family, use for a meal train, or serve for a girl’s night. I mean, my husband loves it too though!
I have zero pictures of this finished dish. Use that imagination 😉
ARTICHOKE CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Pound Thin Chicken Breasts
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 Jar of Trader Joe’s Artichoke Antipasto (12 oz)*
- 3-4 Chopped Artichoke Hearts, from a can
- 1 Spoonful of Jarred Minced Garlic
- Dash of lemon juice
- 1 small container of plain Greek Yogurt
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese {or Quatro Formaggio}
*If you do not have access to a Trader Joe’s, use marinated artichoke hearts instead. Be sure to chop them up pretty finely! You may want to add some additional Italian seasonings of your choice.
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together the artichoke antipasto, artichokes, minced garlic, lemon juice, green yogurt and 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
Place chicken in a greased baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Then cover it evenly with the artichoke mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Set oven to broil. Top the chicken with the remaining parmesan cheese. Broil for about 2-4 minutes, watching closely!
Time to eat!
I serve this with a steamed green veggie and a starch {for the kids} like pasta, rice, or roasted potatoes.
I think it’s important to use thin chicken breasts for this recipe. When I did that, it was a win! When I didn’t, it was a loss. You can easily pound or butterfly your chicken to achieve the thinner pieces.
Enjoy!
Thank you for reading!
