Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside. Add minced garlic (from 1 clove) along with artichoke hearts, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe skillet clean. On the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and cook about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Then add the basil and the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring back to a simmer for 1 minute. If it tastes a bit too acidic (tomatoes can taste acidic), add a few pinches of granulated sugar - it works like a charm! Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- To the sauce in the pan, add the chicken and artichokes back, along with the cooked fettuccine, and the fresh spinach. Toss everything until combined. Garnish with parmesan cheese and basil. Enjoy!

CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE AND BROCCOLI BAKE WITH HERB BREAD CRUMBS
This one-dish dinner is indeed a casserole - but it's bright and light, and nearly effortless. Toss canned artichokes with capers, garlic and chicken stock, pour over chicken breasts and broccoli florets, then let the oven do the work. Canned artichokes are the main flavor builder here so opt for the firmer water-packed variety, which hold their shape better during cooking. While the casserole bakes, toast the panko bread crumbs and season them with dill. Serve the chicken with a squeeze of lemon for brightness and a sprinkle of herby bread crumbs for crunch.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND HERBS
This weeknight sheet-pan dinner takes inspiration from porchetta, the classic Italian pork roast that's scented with fennel and herbs. Here, a fragrant spice rub of ground fennel, garlic, rosemary and sage is placed onto chicken thighs, instantly elevating plain chicken with minimal effort. Canned artichokes are a versatile and time-saving pantry staple, commonly tossed into salads but here, they are fantastic roasted. The juicy chicken thighs create a bright pan sauce mixed with briny olives and lemon juice. Leftovers can be chopped and tossed with mayonnaise for a fantastic chicken salad the next day.

- In a small bowl, combine garlic, ground fennel, rosemary, sage and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper, then rub with spice mixture. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables skin-side up.
- Roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is golden and crisp and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Pour pan juices into a small bowl, let settle and then skim off the fat with a spoon. Stir in olives, lemon juice and red-pepper flakes (if using). Spoon sauce over chicken and vegetables. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around during the cooking process.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Chicken is a lean protein that can easily dry out. Be sure to cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through but still juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil will help them to caramelize and develop flavor. Be sure to cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Add the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Add the sauce to the skillet with the chicken, vegetables, and pasta. Stir until the sauce is evenly distributed.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
Conclusion:
Chicken artichoke pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with a side salad or a crusty loaf of bread for a complete meal.
