I never get tired of recipes like this Chicken Artichoke & Broccoli Skillet.
Fast to throw together with easy clean up.
It is delicious!
I was going to call it Cheesy Chicken Artichoke & Broccoli, but
I didn't want to give the wrong impression.
It has just enough cheese to pull it all together and add another level of flavor,
but not enough to add a lot of extra fat and calories.

1 large onion, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and Pepper

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI've stocked up on plain and fancy artichoke hearts from Costco (the closest Costco is an hour away from me, but a mere 7 minutes from where my son has sled hockey practice from October through March. This recipe looks terrific. Thanks!
We sure did enjoy it, Kirsten. Hope you do too :)
