Parmesan Chicken with Artichoke Hearts is a flavorful, comforting dish that combines the crispiness of parmesan-coated chicken with the tangy, tender goodness of artichoke hearts. The chicken is breaded with a savory mixture of parmesan and breadcrumbs, then baked to golden perfection. Paired with sautéed artichoke hearts in a light garlic and lemon sauce, this dish is both elegant and satisfying, making it an excellent choice for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
