“Baked Chicken with Artichokes” is old school comfort food. Various versions of it have been around forever. Traditionally made using an artichoke mixture bound by mayonnaise, I pull my usual trick and substitute Greek yogurt with great results. In my version, I use marinated artichoke hearts because I prefer their flavor and texture over those packed in water. Your cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Regardless, chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm that the chicken is cooked. Serve this satisfying dish with rice to soak up the extra juices.
