A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish featuring tender chicken pieces, artichoke hearts, and a zesty lemon herb sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps achieve a better texture when cooked.
Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not overcrowded for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken pieces in the baking dish.
Ensure all chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce.
Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Baste the chicken with the juices halfway through for added flavor.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, scatter the artichoke hearts around the chicken, and spoon some of the cooking juices over them.
Mix the artichokes gently to coat them with the juices.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, basting once or twice.
Check the chicken's doneness by ensuring the juices run clear.
Remove the dish from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve garnished with lemon slices.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
