I’m excited to be sharing this new recipe for Artichoke Chicken Bake, and even though this doesn’t need much time in the oven I wanted to get it posted before the weather gets hot! This is the newest in a series of tasty recipes that I’m calling Chicken Bakes; have you tried any of the others?

I admit I’ve become obsessed with this technique that produces a flavorful chicken dinner and is quick and easy to get on the table. If you like the sound of that I’ll give you more information below on this type of dish, and links to other Chicken Bake recipes that have appeared on my site.

What artichoke hearts did we use for the Artichoke Chicken Bake?

For this artichoke chicken dinner I made with my great assistant (and niece) Kara, we used one can of whole artichoke hearts, which was enough to give each serving some tasty artichoke flavor. We cut them in quarters, so buy quartered artichoke hearts if you prefer, and they’ll be a bit less expensive. We used artichokes packed in water, but I think marinated artichoke hearts might also be good in this too; let me know if you try that option!

What if you’re not a fan of Feta Cheese?

We used a pretty generous amount of crumbled Feta, but of course you can use the amount of Feta you prefer, or use another type of cheese such as coarsely-grated Parmesan if you’re not a fan of Feta.

What is a chicken bake?

On my site recipes I call Chicken Bakes are quick dinners that start with four chicken breasts. The chicken is rubbed with olive oil and some kind of seasoning, quickly browned in olive oil in a frying pan, cut into strips (or not, depending on the recipe), covered with a flavorful sauce or topping, and baked in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The quick browning and then baking the chicken with flavor-adding ingredients has consistently produced great results for me. Look below for a list of other recipes where I’ve used this technique.

Make it a low-carb meal:

The Artichoke Chicken Bake would be great with my favorite Easy Cauliflower Rice or Cauliflower Rice with Basil, Parmesan, and Pine Nuts to soak up the sauce. I’d love something like Barely-Cooked Asparagus with Lemon-Mustard Vinaigrette for a side dish.
