A dish that is quick and healthy. Very excellent when served with orzo pasta and topped with lemon slices and cracked black olives.

Ingredients
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes
- 2 (14 ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives (Optional)
- ½ lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Coat chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken breasts in a large baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until opaque, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, gently mash 1 cup tomatoes. Combine with remaining tomatoes, remaining olive oil, artichokes, rosemary sprigs, salt, and red pepper flakes.
- Flip chicken breasts and cover with tomato mixture. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes more.
- Place olives on a cutting board and use a rolling pin to break them into irregular pieces. Plate chicken breasts with tomato mixture; drizzle lemon juice on top. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and cracked olives.
- I’ve also used basil and tarragon as herb variations in this recipe with pleasing results.
