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.

Hi! Thank you! I found your simple recipe simply delightful. I used maple syrup instead of honey (I’m Canadian, eh? — and I was out of honey) and it turned out to be a quick tasty meal. I served it with a baked potato and peas. Easy as it comes. Nice to have a new twist.
i also used maple syrup because i had no honey. it was quite flavorful. i loved it.

When I make your lemon artichoke chicken one pan recipe do I cover them
No need to cover. 🙂
Hi Tiffany, Just found you great site today and recipes look divine! For the :Lemon Chicken & artichokes recipe: could I use marinated artichokes that I have on hand? What size sheet pan do you suggest I use for this recipes of 4 servings?
For your One Pan Spanish Chicken & Rice recipe what size of Staub pan ( I plan to buy a Staub) would you recommend would be most useful for 4 servings as I will be making several of your recipes.
Thank you

Hi Yvonne! You could for sure use the artichokes you have on hand. Sounds delicious!
My favorite size pan is 11″.
I must try this again. I made too much sauce and in doing so, overcooked the artichokes. Great flavor, I need to tone down the amount.
There are cooked lemon slices in the picture on the pan, but no mention of sliced lemons in the recipe. Is that correct?
that was for the pictures only, not required.
We really enjoyed thisI think I would have liked it better with thighs.
I added my own twist and Made a little bit of light Alfredo with the artichoke juice, parm cheese, w/seasonings & a little margine & Corn starch.
Also I did add a side of
Italian style ,Spring vegetables and a little spinach And served it with linguini Finni…we’re riced out but that would’ve been really good with pan juices & butter..
Za’atar much better than the Italian seasoning.delish!
This was easy to make and tasty. Both my son and husband loved it. Next time I might add less honey and maybe a little more lemon juice but that is my preference not my husband or son’s recommendation.
Thanks for your feedback, Dana!
