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.
