Serving chicken with artichoke sauce adds a bold flavor to your chicken dinner. One pan and 25 minutes is all you need to have dinner ready.
Jump to RecipeArtichokes are one of those ingredients that I’ve never used outside of the most common recipe. I’ve made a few variants of spinach-artichoke dip over the years. But Never made anything past that until recently.
I like the bold flavor of artichokes and wanted to make that into a delicious sauce. Of course, it had to go over chicken since that’s what we eat the most. Although, next time, I may try the sauce over salmon.
You can purchase the artichoke as a whole or you can buy it canned. I prefer the canned because it’s more convenient. If you’d like to try getting a fresh artichoke, check out this website for information on how to prepare the artichoke and how to cook with it.
Chicken with Artichoke Sauce Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 14 oz artichoke hearts, quartered and drained
- 1 tbsp dill, for garnish
Preparation
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping at least once, until cooked through.
Meanwhile, whisk the heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl.
Remove the chicken from the pan. Next, pour the chicken broth into the pan and simmer over high heat for 3 minutes, stirring to scrape any browned bits of chicken. Add the heavy whipping cream mixture to the broth and whisk to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes while whisking constantly until it has thickened.
Return the chicken to the pan and add the artichokes, cooking until warmed, about 1-2 minutes.
Place the chicken on serving plates, smother with the sauce, and garnish with dill.
Leftovers
Leftover chicken with artichoke sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cook it all together in a skillet or saucepan. If the sauce thickens, add a bit of heavy cream, milk, or butter to thin it out as it cooks.

I’ve been expanding on what I make with artichokes lately beyond basic spinach and artichoke dips.
I can’t wait to try this! My husband loves artichokes and I never know how to work it into the meal so I always end up making a spinach-artichoke dip.

Artichokes have a strong flavor, but you’re right, in a sauce is a great way to try them since there are other flavors there, too.
We frequently eat artichoke prepared in a variety of ways when they are in season. Unfortunately, their season is so short.
