Artichoke Chicken
Description
In this recipe, chicken breast halves are seasoned and placed in a baking dish before being covered with a blend of well-drained, chopped canned artichoke hearts combined with grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. The assembly bakes uncovered at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken cooks through and the topping is slightly browned.
The creamy artichoke topping adds moisture and a savory depth to the chicken, with the Parmesan providing a nutty flavor and garlic imparting aromatic savoriness. The mayonnaise acts as a binder and keeps the topping rich and spreadable over the chicken during baking.
This dish pairs well with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice and can serve as a casual weeknight meal. It is simple to prepare and requires minimal active cooking time, relying on baking to bring the flavors together and cook the chicken evenly.

Notes
- Well drain canned artichoke hearts before chopping to prevent excess moisture in topping.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breast halves and season with salt and pepper before baking.
- Bake uncovered so the topping can brown lightly for better texture and visual appeal.
- Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking for clear juices before serving.
- The creamy topping mixture can be prepared ahead and spread just before baking.
