Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and bring the flavors together. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet, then return the chicken breasts to the pan.
Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavors and the artichokes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a more hearty dish, add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes.

Swap chicken for white fish like cod or tilapia for a seafood twist.

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a diced chili when sautéing the onions and garlic.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If using frozen chicken breasts, cook for 5-7 extra minutes per side.
