Chicken Artichoke

Although I love chicken, It can get quite boring.  We try different spices and herbs, but sometimes it can still be bland.  This dish on the other hand gives bursts of flavor and really gets your mouth watering.  Quite easy to make and healthy too.
Be sure to prepare all your ingredients before your cooking starts.

4 thin skinless chicken breast
4 tbsp olive oil
1 cup marinated quartered artichokes
1/2 red onion sliced thin
1/2 white onion sliced thin
1/2 lemon juiced
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups fresh sliced bella mushrooms
4 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped parsley
salt and fresh cracked pepper
3 sprigs thyme

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large sauce pan and begin sauteing your onions for 10 minutes.  Add mushrooms and continue to saute for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Heat your pan well again and add remaining olive oil. Gently add chicken breast and cover partially. Cook for 3 minutes on one side and turn only once. Now add salt and pepper, garlic, wine, lemon juice and artichokes. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes and the thyme and parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes to make sure flavors are incorporated. Serve hot and enjoy!
