Chicken Breast with Feta and Artichoke

This chicken breast with feta and artichoke is a life-saving weeknight dinner recipe. For those times when it seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day between work, commute, family, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, this recipe simply requires whipping up a quick marinade the night before, then dinner is on the table the very next evening in under 20 minutes. This particular recipe makes eight servings — perfect if you’re cooking for the whole family or for a week’s worth of protein for yourself.

Chicken breast is just so versatile, isn’t it? So much can be done with this popular protein, and marinating it in tart yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices not only steeps it in brilliant flavors, but it also tenderizes the chicken for a juicy and delicious main course. Though the marinade is technically enough to finish off this dish, this recipe calls for an extra punch of fiber and nutrients with a savory compote of sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. It’s topped with feta cheese to tie together all of the Mediterranean flavors.

This easily adaptable dish can be paired with any side. With only 7 grams of fat per serving, this chicken breast with feta and artichoke is an easy and delicious solution for the person (or family) who’s big on flavor, but short on time.
