Italian Chicken

 

This is probably one of my very favorite things I have ever made! It was so easy and so yummy.  I have leftovers and I can't wait until tomorrow to eat them.  I found this recipe on pintrest and the original posting is here.  I made a few adjustments when I made it myself.  It took probably less than 10 minutes to get in the oven.  This will be going in my meal rotations for awhile.

Italian Chicken

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt and Pepper

1 can diced tomatoes with Garlic and Olive Oil (I believe I used the Western Family brand)

Additional fresh tomatoes and chopped garlic if preferred. (I added 2 Romas and a couple globs of chopped garlic from a jar)

1 can of artichokes, drained

2 tablespoons flour {since the chicken will produce so much liquid}.

Shredded mozzerella cheese

Chopped fresh basil

Lightly grease 9x13 pan. Place chicken breasts in pan and season well with salt and pepper.  In a bowl, mix together tomatoes, garlic, artichokes, and 2 tablespoons of flour.  Spoon mixture over chicken.

Bake at 350 degrees until chicken is no longer pink. 30-40 minutes.  Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped basil over chicken.  Put back in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and yummy.

You can serve over pasta, but I didn't want the carbs and I don't think it's necessary.
