Chicken breast recipes can be dry and boring but not with this one. Roasted artichokes in a lemony sauce combined with spinach for a hearty, healthy and luscious chicken breasts every time.

One skillet lemon artichoke chicken dinner, ready in less than 30 minutes. Add some spinach and tomato for more colors and nutrients, serve with rice and you've got a drool-worthy dinner.

Chicken breast recipe

Hearty and nourishing, this is the kind of recipe that after you eat, you'll feel you did your body good. We are talking simple, bright, fancy, real food and beautiful chicken dinner out of nowhere.

I am used to having artichokes with ground beef like in this stuffed artichokes casserole, it is a classic in the Egyptian kitchen. But this time, we are making it with chicken breast. Everyone is seeking healthy foods, and we really have to. After all these cookies, chocolate, cakes, pies... etc. It is indeed overwhelming, but hey that's what holidays are for. Food, Fun, Family, and Friends and I will never want it any other way. 

I think we are all ready for some healthier stuff, and by healthier I mean more fruits, veggies, and probably lean meat. My idea about healthier recipes is also delicious recipes like this one. Creamy, tangy, and oh so good.

Recently I took my oldest to the pediatrician and there was this nice nurse waiting for him, you know to take all his measurements and stuff. When she knew that he is almost 15, she looked at me and said " Is he behaving well?", cos we have shots for that as well 😆. I replied " He has his moments but in general he is a good boy", the lady then gave me a piece of advice that I need to be firm and in this time we are living in I have to be firm.
She continued on a story about her daughter that when she was 14 I guess, she used to slam her bedroom's door whenever something happens. One day the mom told her if you did that again you'll not like what will happen next, the girl bluntly slammed her door not once but twice 🚪🚪. What do you think the mom did?

She went up to her daughter's room and took off the door!! The woman ACTUALLY made her daughter's room door-less, I seriously find it funny 🤣. SO, I gave my son this look 😈, and he replied back with that look that says " Don't you dare think about it" hehehehe. But seriously guys, although this might seem cruel to some people, sometimes kids drive you nuts. Yes to the point that you take off their bedroom's door 😅, I really cannot stop laughing about this.

How to make creamy lemon artichoke chicken

You are 20 minutes away from having this for dinner tonight. So let me show you how easy and quick this recipe is:

A pan of food on a plate, with Chicken and Artichoke
  • In a cast iron or non stick skillet, melt butter add chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook on each side for almost 5-8 minutes until lightly and nicely browned. Set the chicken aside.

  • In the same pan, melt more butter ,we are talking in terms of 1 or half a tablespoons, and saute tomatoes. Set them aside with the chicken.
  • We'll repeat these steps with artichokes and spinach and then set them aside.
  • Now add garlic, saute for a little and do not let it brown or it will make your sauce bitter. Stir in flour then lemon juice. Pour the stock and stir until it thickens.
  • Put everything back into the skillet again and give it a minute or two to get to know each other on low flame and you are ready to serve your delicious meal. Serve it with a side of rice or pasta, I personally prefer rice or probably couscous.

The idea behind this dish came from a Village Inn dish that I've ordered this recently. Unfortunately, the dish was not what I've expected. Chicken slices was very dry, it had very few artichoke pieces and there was barely enough sauce. I was very disappointed and decided to make it myself, and boy was I pleased.

Notes

Side salad suggestions: serve this with a side of crispy salad like this arugula and red onion, Tabbouleh, Mediterranean salad or eggplant salad. Also, some warm bread rolls to mop the plate clean would be a good idea! If you’re in the mood for homemade bread, try these easy fluffy bread rolls , Moroccan Khobz or this gorgeous pita bread.

    This was absolutely amazing. I did increase the garlic and spinach (because we love them) and added 8 oz of cremini mushrooms (because I had them). We had it with fresh rosemary ciabatta from the farmers market and roasted baby red potatoes (also with rosemary and garlic). Thank you for creating this!
