- Arrange the frozen artichoke hearts around the chicken breasts.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sliced mushrooms; cook until tender.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add chicken broth and sherry, stirring to combine and thicken.

- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh mushrooms instead of frozen. If you don't have sherry, white wine can be a great substitute. Adjust the amount of salt based on your dietary needs or use low-sodium chicken broth. For a thicker sauce, add a bit more flour or let it simmer longer before pouring it over the chicken.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Quick Dirty Rice for a hearty addition. You can also offer crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A light white wine or sparkling water would complement the flavors nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken and artichokes in a covered dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave them, but for best texture, reheating in the oven is recommended.
