Lately I have been on somewhat of an artichoke heart kick. Actually, that's a lie. I've been obsessed with artichoke hearts...I've been eating them every day. Artichokes are low in calories, loaded with fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper, and manganese just to name a few ;) They are delicious and I have created a delicious, healthy, EASY recipe for roasted artichokes with baked chicken.
Artichokes:
~1 can of artichoke hearts (make sure you get the kind in water, not in the oily nasty stuff!)
~Rinse artichoke hearts in can a few times to get rid of any bitter taste. Break them apart with your hands if they are really soft or just use a knife to dice them if they are still kind of tough. Place in a bowl.
~Add 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil, squirt of honey, pinch of salt, black pepper to taste.
~Place artichoke hearts in a meatloaf pan and pop in toaster oven at 375 for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Chicken:
~Marinate chicken breast in olive oil and lemon juice
~Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of chicken
~Bake in toaster oven at 375 for about 30 minutes (you can just put the chicken in when the artichokes are about halfway done if you have room!)
