I’ve been working on cleaning out the pantry, and found a can of tomato sauce and a can of quartered artichoke hearts. So in less than 30 minutes start to finish, I whipped up this quick and easy Chicken Artichoke Skillet recipe, which you can serve on top of pasta or have stand-alone in a bowl. It was so flavorful and delicious, we’ll be making it again – especially since we almost always have the ingredients on hand.
If you don’t keep canned artichoke hearts in your pantry, they’re great to dice up and toss on top of pizza, in a salad, in any kind of pasta, or to mix into bruschetta on top of toasted baguette slices.
You can play around with the amount of tomato sauce; I used less (only 1/2 cup) as I mainly wanted it for a little flavor and color, not to make it into a heavy tomato-based sauce. You could also opt to cook the chicken whole and spoon the artichoke sauce over for serving; however I went with less cooking time and cut up the chicken before cooking.
I served this dish on top of angel hair pasta for my husband and two daughters, but my son doesn’t like pasta (I KNOW, RIGHT?!) and I’m trying to reduce my carbs, so I also went without. Hope you enjoy it!
