Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet with a cover.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in the skillet.
- Add garlic, sherry, mushrooms, and frozen artichoke hearts to the pan with the chicken.
- Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until juices are low and chicken is cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken in sherry and garlic for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have sherry, white wine or chicken broth can be good substitutes. Fresh artichokes can be used instead of frozen, but they require more prep time. Be sure to brown the chicken well to develop a rich flavor, similar to what you’d find in Oven Easy Chicken.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A crisp green salad or steamed vegetables can provide a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, serve alongside Stay Night Potatoes. Enjoy with a glass of the same sherry used in cooking for a perfect match.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken and artichokes in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or water to keep it moist. Cover and heat until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skinless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, skinless chicken can be used, but it may result in a slightly less rich flavor as the skin adds fat and moisture. To compensate, you might want to add a bit more butter or oil when browning the chicken.
What can I substitute for the frozen artichokes?
If frozen artichokes are not available, canned artichoke hearts can be used. Drain and rinse them before adding to the skillet. Fresh artichokes are also an option, but they require more prep work.
How can I make this dish gluten-free?
The recipe is naturally gluten-free, but be sure to check the sherry for any gluten-containing additives. You can also replace any other ingredients, like broth, with gluten-free alternatives to ensure the whole dish remains gluten-free.
