Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the artichoke hearts, chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried oregano. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato and artichoke mixture. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Uncover the skillet and let the liquid reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, pasta, or a fresh green salad.
