Italian Artichoke Chicken – This creamy Italian Artichoke Chicken is easy, quick, and SO good! Triple win!! Make it tonight for dinner!
Yay for stress-free, ready in a hurry dinners! This week has been stress-full and I really just don’t need any added worries in the kitchen department. So a quick and easy delicious dinner is exactly what the doctor ordered.
The only thing that could have made this dinner any easier is if I’d done it in the slow cooker. If anyone does decide to try it out, please let me know how it goes, I’d love to hear that this was crock-pot doable.
It’s pretty obvious that I love my crock pot. Check out a few of my favorite reasons why here.
I actually think my husband might be getting a tad bit jealous with how fondly I speak of my crock pot.I haven’t named him yet though so it can’t be that bad right?
Besides the quick-and-easy loveability of this recipe, I also adore it’s lightness. Italian meals tend to get a bad rap for being heavy and carb-loaded. Sure there’s carbs in this dish but trust me, it doesn’t sit in your stomach like a steak burrito does. (Do not mistake that comment for a disdain for steak burritos, they happen to be one of my most favorite things on this earth.) This chicken is light and creamy and soooo good.
P.S. I chopped my tomatoes really BIG so that my husband could pick them out (who doesn’t like tomatoes??) but if you prefer them smaller, go for it. You can leave them out if you are a house full of tomato-haters. But please please do not leave out the artichokes. This is Italian artichoke chicken after all.
