Description

Baked chicken covered with heirloom tomatoes, artichokes, and fresh rosemary makes for an easy, aromatic dinner.

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes
2 (14 ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup Kalamata olives
1/2 lemon, juiced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Coat chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken breasts in a large baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until opaque, about 12 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, gently mash 1 cup tomatoes. Combine with remaining tomatoes, remaining olive oil, artichokes, rosemary sprigs, salt, and red pepper flakes.
5 Flip chicken breasts and cover with tomato mixture. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes more.
6 Place olives on a cutting board and use a rolling pin to break them into irregular pieces. Plate chicken breasts with tomato mixture; drizzle lemon juice on top. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and cracked olives.
