One pan baked lemon chicken and artichokes with a sweet and tangy lemon and garlic glaze makes the perfect 30 minute meal for busy weeknights.

There’s something about the combination of honey, lemon, and garlic together that just makes my heart happy. If all those things are coming together in a one pan – slash- sheet pan meal that can be prepped and baked in about thirty minutes, well that’s my little heaven right there.
I must’ve been about 8 or 10 years old the first time I remember trying an artichoke. It was at my grandparents home in Southern California, dinner on the back patio beneath their pale blue wooden awning with little bowls of mayonnaise and melted butter for dipping. The melted butter comes from my Mom’s side, the mayonnaise from my Dad’s. I love them both.
The Health Science major side of me says no way to dipping flower petals in butter and mayo but the food-lover side of me says YESSSSSS. The food-lover side generally wins, even if it’s just by a hair.
This 30 minute meal needs to happen in your kitchen this week. I’m actually out of an at the moment, what with being in the middle of a kitchen remodel, so I’ll be dreaming of this chicken and artichoke dinner all week, but you can actually enjoy the real deal.
One sheet pan, a handful of ingredients, easy peasy YUMMY chicken dinner.

Can i use skin on bone in chicken?
You could- but it would take longer to cook!
Making this a 2nd time going to do 1 1/2 the artichokes. Served it with wild rice last time, going to try cous cous with mushrooms this time.
Sounds delicious!
What would you serve as a side dish? I’ve cooked this and it is delicious! but broccoli salad was not enough. Need a starch…..
You could always serve with roasted baby reds!
I liked how easy the recipe is to follow. I also like the shortcut to use the canned artichoke hearts! The chicken was very moist and cooked just right. I would make again.
Thanks for your feedback, Hope!
I could have eaten the whole sheet pan! Wonderful rich flavour!
Haha!!! Best compliment ever.
Great reCIPE! JUST HAD AN ISSUE WITH MINE BEING SUPER LIQUIDY. DO YOU DRAIN THE SAUCE HALFWAY THROUGH OR ANYTHING?
I typically don’t have to! Sorry that happened to you for whatever reason! Hoping it was still super delicious for you, Bri!
hello crème de la Crumb.
I do have a little question for you. for the ARTichoc hearts do they have to be fresh or I can use the one already cut marinated… ?
Hi Danny- canned and drained artichoke hearts will work just fine for this recipe.
just salivating looking at this. will definately try it out
I hope that it turns out super delicious for you! 🙂
Hi! Looks delicious. Cant wait to make this meal this week. DO you use jars of artichokes or frozen? The flavor is different if theyve been in a brine.
Thanks!
I used canned but you could use either- whatever your preference is! Fresh, frozen or canned!
The photo shows sliced lemon cooked but recipe doesn’t mention it. Guess I’ll go ahead slice some up and cook it along with canned artichokes and chicken….
Just my kind of recipe for a tired week day night. So simple and looks so tasty too. Thank you. I’ll try this out.
I’m OBSESSED with artichokes, but I usually use jarred for convenience. Do you just buy whole artichokes and peel them by hand for the hearts? This dish looks insanely yummy. Thanks!
Great combination! Artichokes are so good. 🙂
This was tasty, tender and quick! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
