    Delicious chicken breasts smothered in fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped artichokes, tomatoes, fresh basil, and baked to perfection! I love Mediterranean style recipes this time of the year (Spring - Summer). And, as the temperatures get warmer outside, I always crave something that's light and lean, yet delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. This Mediterranean style Tomato Basil Artichoke Chicken fits the bill! Perfect with a glass of wine!

    The recipe couldn't be easier to make. The prep takes only 15 minutes, and then you just bake the chicken for a total of 30 or 40 minutes.

    How to make Tomato Basil Artichoke Chicken (step-by-step photos):

    Preheat oven to 375 F.

    Grease the bottom of the baking pan (I used 2.5 quart oval casserole dish) with butter. Season chicken breasts with salt and Italian seasoning on both sides. (Use 4 small chicken breasts or 2 large chicken breasts and half them horizontally to make 4 - that's what I did). Place chicken breasts into the greased baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 375 F, uncovered.

    In the mean time, combine chopped artichoke hearts, chopped basil, chopped tomato, minced garlic cloves and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.

    Remove the chicken from the oven (the chicken will not be completely cooked through - you'll continue baking it later) - you have baked it for 15 minutes:

      So very yummy and it made the house smell wonderful! The chicken was so moist and the juice which we put on our brown rice was delicious! Company worthy!

      Hi Julia
      Delicious but where does the liquid come from shone in your pictures. No mention of adding liquid in recipe.

        It looks like it's just the juices from the chicken and the veggies as they cooked.

      This was easy and delicious! I will definitely be making it again! The only change I made was using a package of grape tomatoes instead of one Roma tomato. I served it over brown rice.

        Making this right now, it is super easy and hope it tastes as good as it smells baking in the oven, added mushrooms and some other spices because I prefer my food have a kick!

              Phyllis, the liquid came from the chicken releasing the juices first. Then, some more liquid came from tomatoes and artichokes. Enjoy the recipe!

      At what point in the process do you think you would freeze this? After the first 15min of the chicken cooking or once it’s completely cooked?

        Lauren, I would freeze this after the chicken is completely cooked through.

      Do you think I could do this in a crockpot instead of the oven?

        I've never tried this in a slow cooker.
