{Recipe} Artichoke Crusted Chicken


Updating an awesome recipe today! I can't believe it's been 4 years since I made this dish.  Seriously, MAKE IT.


Just the title alone, how could I say no?!  This chicken was so different from the usual piece of chicken. It was AWESOME and J even said it was his favorite chicken recipe thus far.  I found this recipe on Pinterest and it introduced me to a new food blog, Sugar Laws.  I ended up eating 2 pieces of chicken because the pieces I made were actually really small. I also used only half the amount of mayo that was recommended and thought it still had a bit too much...and this is coming from someone who loves mayo and refuses to sub Greek Yogurt for mayo...but that is another healthy alternative. I just won't do it.   Anyways, this recipe will definitely be a new staple in our rotation!

Broil chicken for 3-4 minutes tops. Now, my picture the artichoke mix did not brown like Sugar Laws did. Still tasted great!
