"I found this recipe in Southern Living years ago and have made it often. It's especially good when people come for dinner: quick, easy, great flavor and looks nice on a serving platter. The original recipe calls for a jar of marinated artichoke hearts, drained, but I prefer a can of plain artichoke hearts. The recipe only serves two, be sure to double or triple as needed."

This is always a winner with guests and family. I also add mushrooms and saute them after I have cooked the chicken but before I add the artichoke hearts.

This is a delicious dish, and as other reviewers noted, it is quite fast to make. I used marinated artichokes, and we loved the tang they gave to the dish. I served it with my own saffron rice, sprinkled some finely chopped green onions on top, and it really looked great. Thanks for sharing - will definitely make this again.

This is a delicious meal that is so simple to put together and looks so appealing. I wouldn't hesitate about serving this to guests. I used the marinated artichokes and added a few pinches of cayenne to the flour mixture. Once the chicken was cooked, I sliced it into strips, then instead of using rice, I served it over angel hair pasta. DH and I both ejoyed this very much. I will double the recipe next time, as I'm sure this would be just as delicious as leftovers. Thanks for posting LonghornMama.

VERY enjoyable dish with subtle mix of flavors. Quick to get on the table, too. Prepared as posted, using the plain artichoke hearts; next time, I'll try the marinated ones just to compare flavors. Thanks for posting, Elizabeth.

Great quick and easy recipe. Loved the flavour of the chicken. I felt that the sauce need a little salt. This would also be great served on pasta rather than rice. Thanks for sharing.
