This is the kind of dish that makes a Tuesday night feel like a trattoria dinner.

Chicken breast chunks get a light flour coating for a bit of body, then hit a hot skillet with olive oil and garlic. Artichoke hearts join the party, a squeeze of lemon brightens everything up, and a scattering of fresh parsley at the finish makes the whole plate sing.

It’s light, it’s lemony, and it comes together in one skillet in under 40 minutes. Serve it over orzo, angel hair, or just a pile of crusty Italian bread.

Pro Tips

  • Cut the chicken into uniform 1.5-inch chunks so they cook at the same rate. Uneven pieces mean some will be dry while others are still raw.
  • Use canned artichoke hearts packed in water, not marinated. The marinated ones will overpower the bright lemon and oregano flavors.
  • Add the parsley in the last two minutes of cooking. Fresh herbs lose their punch if they simmer too long.
