Creamy Artichoke Chicken Breasts
Quick, creamy and delicious, this One Dish Creamy Artichoke Chicken Breasts recipe even gives you some vegetables in your entrée!
Since the pandemic started, I haven’t made a lot of chicken. My CSAs have stopped raising them and, well, my freezers are pretty full anyhow.
But recently I’ve started to miss it–and I’m hesitant to buy it at the store. My first choice for the meat or poultry we eat, is to know the farmer that raised it. That way I’m confident the animal lived a good life and I am getting a healthy food. Alas, I don’t know any chicken farmers anymore. 
So when my Sunday blogging group decided to do chicken recipes I wasn’t sure what to do. Ultimately I settled on some “Amish” chicken at the grocers.
I had lost the original recipe I was planning (why does my life seem to work that way lately) and ended up with this Creamy Artichoke Chicken Breasts recipe from the Foodtasia blog. Happily it was creamy and delicious and actually prettier than the lost dish. And did I mention cooks in one pan!
The artichokes and red pepper in here were a perfect compliment to the creamy, meaty dish! Don’t you love when you get some vegetables in an entrée? Just add a salad and some pasta and you have a complete meal!
When I made the recipe, I was tempted to reduce the sauce. 1 ½ cups of added liquid seemed like a lot! I’m glad I didn’t because it was delicious and perfect over fettuccini. And whenever I go back to keto, I’ll just use cauliflower rice to lap up the extra sauce!
I’d almost forgotten how good chicken is for healthy, easy recipes!
Guess I need to go out and find myself a new chicken farmer!
