6 servings
35 minutes total
Ingredients
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can artichoke hearts
  • 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz spaghetti pasta
  • 1 tablespoon basil pesto
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (or stock)
  • 1 ½ cups petite diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
  1. Bring water to boil for pasta. Chop artichokes and cut chicken into ¼-inch strips (wash hands). Cook pasta following package instructions.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is browned.
  3. Reduce chicken to medium heat; stir in pesto, seasoned salt, and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors. Stir in broth and loosen browned bits of food in pan. Stir in artichokes and tomatoes; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sauce is hot and chicken is 165°F. Drain pasta and toss with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheese; serve.
