Mmmmm. This looks delicious! I’m always looking for new ways to throw artichokes in my diet.
Do you think this could be prepped hours ahead of time or even night before?
Absolutely, Kelly.
I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it turned out wonderfully! I knew Id like it because the ingredients all work well together, so I took a chance and made enough to last several meals and couldn’t be happier I did! Great recipe! Especially the artichokes and capers. Thanks, I’ll definitely be making this again…and again
So happy you liked it Tim! Good thing since you make so much!!!! 🙂
I made this the other night and noticed that you have olive oil listed in the ingredients but in the directions, you never say when to use it. In the ingredients, it says 2 crushed cloves of garlic and 2 whole cloves but the instructions only say when to add the crushed. Can you clarify? I did love the recipe but next time I’ll probably use more artichokes. The flavor was great and the chicken was very juicy! I can’t wait to try more recipes from your site.
Step 2: In a medium dutch oven, heat oil over high heat.
Hey Lexi, did you keep the roasting rack in the roasting pan while cooking?
Yes!
Are you roasting covered or open ?
I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it turned out wonderfully!
Could you make this in a crock pot?
I had 1 sliced yellow onion and 2 whole garlic cloves leftover. Suppose they get mixed in before going into the oven? Can you clarify? Thanks. Love your site and dry rub wings, especially.
Fixed – so sorry! 🙂
I love this recipe! To simplify preparation, I added the onions, capers, garlic and other ingredients to the pan after I seared the chicken, and just mixed it around before putting it in the oven. I will be making it again this weekend for my dad’s birthday dinner!

This chicken was DELISH!!! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and don’t feel like I missed out on any flavor whatsoever. I had it with Cauliflower Gnocchi while my fiancé had it with angel hair pasta. He said it was better than some of the meals we’ve had out at restaurants. Definitely on the repeat list!!! ??

Shouldn’t there be a step 4-1/2 where you take the chicken out of the pan and add the contents of the bowl for some period of time?
Are “artichokes in juice” marinaded artichokes or artichokes in water? Or something entirely different?
I have made many of @lexiscleankitchen recipes, but this one might be a favorite!! It was so amazing. I will be making this dish again – a great combination of flavors.
