Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Delicious! The only thing I did different was add a little garlic salt to the sauce, as well as on top of the dish for a little added flavor.

I would like to try this recipe, I do not like artichoke, but with this recipe I may be able to change my mind about artichokes.
