Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts.
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • 2 tablespoons of salted butter.
  • 1 jar 12 oz marinated artichoke hearts.
  • 1 cup of heavy cream.
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Fresh parsley for a pretty garnish.

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken

  • Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Do this on both sides for good flavor.

Sear the Meat

  • Heat oil and butter in your skillet. Brown the chicken for five minutes per side. Move the chicken to a clean plate.

Sauté the Garlic

  • Add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook it for about one minute. Do not let the garlic burn.

Deglaze the Pan

  • Add the drained artichoke hearts to the pan. Stir them gently with the garlic.

Make the Creamy Sauce

  • Pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Add the oregano and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce starts to thicken.

Combine Everything

  • Put the chicken back into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the meat.

Add More Cheese

  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Use a lot of cheese for extra gooeyness.

Bake or Broil

  • Place the skillet in the oven at 375°F. Bake for 15 minutes until bubbly. Broil for two minutes to brown the top.

Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle fresh parsley over the hot dish. Serve it while it is still warm.

Notes

  • Use marinated artichokes for a better flavor profile.
  • The oil they sit in adds extra herbs.
  • Always pat your chicken dry before seasoning it.
  • This helps the meat get a nice brown crust.
  • Do not overcook the chicken breasts in the pan.
  • They will finish cooking inside the hot oven.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you can.
  • It melts much smoother than the bottled kind.
  • Let the dish rest for five minutes before serving.
  • This lets the sauce thicken up beautifully.
