BASIL ARTICHOKE CHICKEN BAKE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Basil Artichoke Chicken Bake Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5-6 breasts)
salt and pepper
2 - 14 ounce cans of diced Italian tomatoes with basil and garlic, drained
1 - 14 ounce can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
4 cloves garlic, minced well (I use a microplane)
3 T fresh parmesan cheese, grated
2 Tb flour or 1 Tb cornstarch (optional, if you would like a thicker pan juice)
4 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts, then place them in a single layer in the pan. 2. In a medium bowl, gently mix together the drained tomatoes and drained artichoke hearts with the garlic, parmesan cheese and flour/cornstarch if using. Spread this mixture over the top of the chicken and bake, uncovered for 45 minutes. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the fresh basil over the top. You can serve this alone or with some pasta because it does make some pan juices.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil leaves add a vibrant flavor to the dish, so use them whenever possible. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but use half the amount as it's more concentrated.
  • Choose high-quality artichoke hearts: Look for artichoke hearts that are plump and have a light green color. Avoid any that are brown or discolored.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth you use will significantly impact the flavor of the dish, so choose a good quality broth. You can use homemade chicken broth or a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breast can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The flavors will meld together as it sits, but the chicken will become dry if you let it sit for too long.
