I'm not a big fan of artichoke hearts, but I loved this dish! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, but without the artichoke hearts.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and used it in this dish. It turned out great! The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the artichoke hearts added a nice touch.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The chicken was also a bit dry.
