Description
A delicious and romantic chicken dish featuring artichokes and mushrooms, perfect for a special dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the artichoke hearts, chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with Greek yogurt or a low-fat cream alternative.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
