ARTICHOKE LEMON & GARLIC CHICKEN
Made this the other day. Wanted something that made chicken the background of the meal as I'm getting tired of chicken! This worked. Tasted good after cooking but after letting sit overnight it tasted even better.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 lemons, thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar artichoke hearts in olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray/oil the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Lay 4-6 slices of lemon on the bottom of the dish. Place the chicken on top and season both sides with salt and lemon pepper.
Sprinkle the crushed garlic cloves on and around the chicken. Add the artichokes, tomatoes, thyme and remaining lemon slices on top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through. If you want that extra brown color on top, you can broil for 2-3 minutes at the end. Let rest for 5-10 minutes then serve!
