Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup bottled Italian dressing for marinating
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 15-oz can artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • nonstick skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the 1 cup bottled Italian dressing over them; marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or up to overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and sear it 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  4. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, 3/4 cup grated Parmesan, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; stir until evenly mixed.
  6. Spread the artichoke-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Notes

  • Marinating longer increases flavor and juiciness.
  • Drain and chop artichokes well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Sear quickly to develop color but not to cook through.
  • Use a meat thermometer; chicken is done at 165°F (74°C).
