What Makes This Recipe So Good
It’s a 7-ingredient, 30-ish-minute, one-pan meal that’s completely Whole30, paleo, and dairy free. What more do I need to say??We’re talking a restaurant-quality, creamy, tangy tomato sauce that swaddles tender, juicy, perfectly-cooked chicken breasts that have been seasoned simply but beautifully. It’s rich but not too, too heavy. Bright and so satisfying. Easy yet company-worthy. Seriously, do I need to go on?Oh, and since this creamy tomato artichoke chicken is so incredible all on its own, you only need a simple side or two to pair with it. Try Italian green beans, air fryer asparagus, sautéed spinach, broccolini, or your favorite Whole30 potato dish.
Chef’s Tips
If a tomato-y sauce isn’t your style, check out my recipe for Creamy Whole30 Tuscan Chicken with Artichokes. It’s very similar to this creamy tomato artichoke chicken, but uses sun-dried tomatoes instead of crushed, giving you more of a white “cream” sauce.Make sure your chicken breasts are roughly the same size and thickness, otherwise they won’t cook evenly. If they vary wildly in thickness, pound them thinner with a meat tenderizer (or a rolling pin) or halve them into evenly thick cutlets.For a really golden sear, pat the chicken breasts completely dry with a paper towel before seasoning them. Don’t worry, removing that outer moisture won’t dry them out. It’ll actually give you a better sear, which will lock in those natural juices, keep the chicken breasts nice and moist.Your cook times will vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of the chicken you use, and on the size and age of the skillet. Use an internal meat thermometer to make sure the chicken’s cooked to a safe-to-consume temperature (165°F for chicken) before serving.
