Savory Chicken with Artichokes and Mushrooms

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Chicken with Artichokes and Mushrooms.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a large casserole dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray or a gentle mist of olive oil to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, and black pepper, creating a flavorful seasoning mix.

4. Step 4

   Sprinkle this blend evenly over your chicken cubes, ensuring each piece is well-coated for maximum taste.

5. Step 5

   Next, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

6. Step 6

   Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the seasoned chicken cubes.

7. Step 7

   Sauté them for about 4 minutes, or until they’re beautifully browned on all sides.

8. Step 8

   Once done, transfer the chicken to your prepared casserole dish.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to add the artichoke hearts from the jar, tucking them in among the chicken.

10. Step 10

    Set aside 1 tablespoon of the marinade for later; it’ll add a lovely touch to the dish.

11. Step 11

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

12. Step 12

    Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for about 3 minutes until they’re lightly browned and fragrant.

13. Step 13

    Now, mix together some flour and dried thyme, then stir this blend into the mushrooms, allowing the flavors to meld.

14. Step 14

    In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, dry sherry, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

15. Step 15

    Gradually pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly.

16. Step 16

    Watch as the sauce thickens slightly, and don’t forget to taste it! Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper to suit your palate.

17. Step 17

    Pour this luscious sauce over the chicken and artichokes in the casserole dish, then drizzle with the reserved artichoke marinade for an extra burst of flavor.

18. Step 18

    Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil to keep all those delicious juices in.

19. Step 19

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place the casserole in your preheated oven and let it cook for 15 to 18 minutes.

20. Step 20

    You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).

21. Step 21

    Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.

22. Step 22

    Serve this delightful dish warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors that come together beautifully in every bite!.
