Artichoke Chicken Skillet
Artichoke Chicken Skillet is a twist on the classic artichoke dish. Instead of an appetizer, this is a full on meal, prepared 30 minutes or less! Your family will be begging for seconds, maybe thirds!
I love making one skillet meals. They are perfect for busy weeknights without sacrificing flavor! This Artichoke Chicken Skillet recipe combines a restaurant favorite appetizer with juicy chicken breast for a creamy delight!
HOW TO MAKE ARTICHOKE CHICKEN SKILLET
Like all meat dishes, it is important to have the meat well seasoned. We don’t want bland chicken, do we? Cut the chicken breast lengthwise, then generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
I like to use avocado oil when I cooking on medium-high heat. Brown both chicken sides of the chicken breast for about three minutes. Then set aside until a little later.
Be sure not to overcook or burn the veggies, so turn the heat to medium then add the onions and red bell pepper. I like to wait until onion is translucent and bell peppers soft, so about five minutes. Add minced garlic and artichoke hearts, then sauté for a few more minutes.
Add chicken broth and lemon juice to really kick up the flavor. You will want the liquid to simmer until it is half reduced. Then remove from heat. Add in heavy cream and parmesan.
The heat from the cast iron skillet will keep everything pretty hot for awhile. You don’t want to overcook your chicken, so wait until the parmesan is melted then add the chicken back to the pan. Now your dish is ready to be served!

This was easy and delicious. I doubled the recipe, and think instead of doubling all liquids in sauce, increasing liquids by 50% with double the chicken would have been perfect!
Delicious! I may have been impatient and didn’t let the sauce reduce long enough. Next time I would cut back to maybe 1/4 cup of broth and/or add a thickener. It made enough for two dinners for us, so I bet it will taste even better tomorrow! It’s going into my meal rotation. Thank you!
I’ve saved it to Copy Me That and have shared the recipe with friends.
My wife absolutely hates bell peppers. Is there anything I can use as a substitute? The recipe looks super simple but I need to make that one change. Thanks for your help.
I would just leave them out
I’ve made this with mushrooms to replace the peppers and it’s great!
I had artichoke hearts that were open and needed used and found this recipe. So glad we gave it a try–everyone loved it!
So happy to hear that!
This is amazing! I love this skillet, will make again
