An Easy One Pot Artichoke Chicken Dinner
April 7, 2015 6 Comments
This is what my dish looked like before I put it in the oven.
Where is the after picture? Ummm, whoops! Casserole got chowed down so quickly that I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough.
Or maybe I forgot to take a picture I was so ENTRALLED by this chicken dish.
I am always looking for ways to only clean one pot and make a good meal. This is easy because you aren’t really cooking – just dumping yummy ingredients into a casserole.
Artichokes packed in water (not marinated because then you are adding oil) are a great vegetable. One large artichoke contains only 25 calories, 170 milligrams of potassium, and is a good source of vitamin C, folate, magnesium and dietary fiber.
My daughter liked the chicken but wouldn’t eat the artichokes and my son demanded a cheese sandwich instead. Oh well.
I could see this with oregano, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, or other flavoring agents to pop it up a bit. But, if you are in a hurry to toss a meal into the oven – this works.
Do you eat artichokes for dinner? How do you serve them?
