Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 to 6 boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 14 ounces canned quartered artichokes rinsed and drained
- 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot sliced into thin rounds
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, divided
- 6 to 8 ounces baby spinach
- ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet that's safe for the stovetop and for the oven.
- Brown the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet to brown on all sides; about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set the chicken aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables and combine. Add the artichokes, onions, carrots, and 1/2 of the chopped garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender, stirring occasionally. Add the rest of the garlic and spinach; continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the broth and chicken.
- Cook. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. The chicken is done when its internal temperature registers at 165˚F. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve. Plate and ladle the liquid and veggies over the chicken pieces and serve.
