My friend Bethany came up with this creamy artichoke chicken recipe (of course I put my own spin on it because that’s just what I do). She is an amazing cook and I have to admit this recipe is definitely in my top 10 favorites. It’s jammed packed full of fresh, creamy, delicious flavors. I know you love it as much as I do!
Ingredients:
For the topping
1 can artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped (I also pat them dry with a paper towel so there’s no water on them)
3 TBS mayonnaise
Zest from 1 lemon
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together and set aside.
For the chicken
4 chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups flour
Salt and pepper
2 sprigs rosemary, minced
Pre-heat oven broiler on high.
1. Take the chicken and butterfly each one, also making crisscross marks with a knife on the bottom of the breast to make it more tender.
2. Mix flour, salt, pepper and rosemary in a gallon size zip lock bag. Add chicken and toss to coat.
3. Heat skillet over medium-heat with 2 TBS olive oil. Cook chicken for about 5 min on each side until golden brown.
4. When chicken is done place on a baking sheet. Place a heap of the topping on top of each chicken breast, covering most of the breast.
5. Broil chicken until the topping starts to bubble and turns golden. This should take between 3-5 min.
Serve and enjoy! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Thanks for reminding me of this recipe. I used to make it, then I got in a rut of making the same recipes all the time. I'll have to try something like this again someday.

Hi Anna, I know that this has to be delicious, because a friend also gave me a recipe that was similar to this only in a casserole form . . . and it is delicious! I adore artichokes and with chicken like this the dish is superb! Thank you for sharing. I'm putting this in my 'to cook' file!

Angela Sabatini says
This looks wonderful. Have you ever tried to do this in a crock pot?
Anna says
Now, I bet that would be really good!
Hilary says
Just made this, very yummy! Although my chickens were a bit bigger and the topping wasn’t quite enough.
Lisa Richey says
Delicious! The flavors are both refreshingly light and creamy. I tried this recipe for the first time when my in-laws were visiting. It was a hit! I serve it over pasta with a cream sauce I make from the juices that remained after topping the chicken. My husband loves that I have incorporated this recipe into my repertoire. Thank you, Ask Anna!
Courtney says
I made this tonight. I dint have any lemon, so I used a dash or so of Italian dressing and a bit more garlic. It turned out SO good! Even my kiddos ate it. We love artichokes and I cook with them a lot. Thanks for the recipe!
Anna says
Oooo, I’ll have to try that twist in the recipe, thanks for the great idea! I’m glad everyone loved it so much. 🙂
Karla says
Hi, Anna,
I came across this wonderful recipe a few months ago, and it immediately became a favorite. I apologize for just now leaving a thank-you message. Because I live alone, I freeze portions of it, and it reheats quite well. And because I am disabled, a woman comes in every day to cook, do other household tasks, shopping, etc., She has made it at home, and she and her husband really like it, too. Thanks from all of us!
Anna says
Yay! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know that you love it. 🙂
Laurel says
Hey, I am looking to make this later this week, but I just have big jars of artichokes from Costco. About how many ounces is the can you use?
Anna says
When I make it I use a 15oz can, like the size of a can of beans. I think it works out to being about 2 cups once they’re all cut up into quarters. Enjoy! I just made it last week, it’s so yummy. 🙂
April says
This was good. I cut the recipe in half for two of us. We still had leftover topping, but I plan to eat that with tortilla chips. We had it with salad and rotini with butter, salt, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Yum!
Anna says
Yum! I’m so glad you liked the recipe, it’s one of our favorites too. 🙂
