This artichoke chicken pasta is a quick, easy, rich and creamy dinner. Marinate the chicken during the day and the dish comes together in just 20 minutes that night.

It was another late night dinner when Handsome got home from school at 10 PM. I always feel bad because he doesn't often get a lot to eat during the day and being a hard worker, I want to make sure he gets at least one good meal a day. Not to mention, we both love chicken, and he loves himself some artichokes (not sure that I do).

I haven't used artichokes much, and the few times I've had them (canned), they seemed bitter and a little grainy. But I was determined to use them.

So, with no real idea of what I wanted to make, I went town in the kitchen making this hearty, easy artichoke chicken pasta.

Ok, if you don't have artichokes on hand, I've got you covered. Check these out!

Notes

The lemon in the chicken really stood out, which was great because I was afraid the cream sauce and artichoke would over power it. It looked super fancy and really only took 20 minutes to pull together. Quick and tasty – that’s what we’re talking about.
