Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
- 1.5 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds extra flavor to the dish.
Place the seared chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Scatter the artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes over the chicken in the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour this mixture over the chicken, artichokes, and tomatoes in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Once the chicken is done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken breasts with the artichokes and tomatoes, and spoon the flavorful broth over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Pair with rice, pasta, or a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
