"Our two children, ages 5 and 8, love chicken. Both can be finicky eaters and they're not crazy about sauces, but they love this dish! It's so full of different flavors." Christine Ecker - Linwood, New Jersey

Ingredients

2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and halved
3/4 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

Mmm! I made this for dinner last night, and it was great! The rub on the chicken tastes marvelous, and the artichokes and olives add that extra something different. Flavorful and delicious all around.
