Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and artichokes over them.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
