Categories Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces mushrooms, cut into quarters
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 cup black olives

Steps:

Cut each chicken breast into 2 to 3 pieces. Pound the chicken about 1/4 inch thick between sheets of waxed paper with a meat mallet. Coat the chicken with a mixture of the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Drain the artichokes, reserving the marinade. Heat the reserved marinade and olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken lightly in the olive oil mixture in the pan. Spoon the chicken into a 9x13-inch baking dish, reserving the pan drippings. Add the butter to the reserved drippings. Heat until the butter melts. Stir in the mushrooms.
Saute for 3 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a bowl. Add the undrained tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, basil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the saute pan. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken. Drizzle with the sherry.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Add the artichokes and olives to the mushrooms and mix gently. Add the artichoke mixture to the chicken mixture and mix well. Bake for 10 minutes longer or until bubbly.
Spoon over hot cooked pasta or rice.
May be prepared in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and bake as directed.

For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before cooking and season it generously with salt and pepper.
You can use any type of vegetables you like in this dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, and zucchini.
If you don't have white wine, you can substitute it with chicken broth.
Serve the chicken with a side of rice or potatoes and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
