As part of my effort to share different ways to cook, today’s Figure Friendly Recipe is Baked Chicken and Artichokes. It’ll serve four people and each serving has 284 calories, 6 grams of fat, 42 grams of protein, and 488mg of Sodium. Enjoy!

All You’ll Need:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 9-ounce bag frozen artichoke hearts, quartered
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 red pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon chopped, fresh rosemary
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

All you’ll do:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, artichokes, mushrooms and peppers, season with salt and pepper, cook for 2 more minutes and set aside.

3. Slice the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch wide strips. Season the chicken pieces with rosemary, salt and pepper and place them in a large baking dish in a single layer. Spoon the artichoke mixture evenly over the chicken and add the wine and broth. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes.
