Hello Friends!
How is your week going? We have been celebrating birthdays lately and also watching sports. I love how normal it feels to watch them again and it really brings some much-needed relief from all the noise.
Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty dinner idea to put together quickly.

List of main ingredients for this recipe:
Chicken – of course, this is the star of this show. I like to use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can also use chicken tenders which are sometimes less expensive for the same flavor!
Roasted Peppers – You can roast your own peppers, but I recommend buying the jarred variety. They are a great pantry staple to have on hand for many recipes.
Artichoke Hearts – You can use fresh steamed artichoke hearts if you want, but I recommend canned or frozen artichoke hearts for this recipe which are so much easier and just as delicious.
