EK's Artichoke Chicken

Many moons ago, I saw this recipe on the oft mentioned and imitated Kitchen Life of a Navy Wife.  I swear she has the best recipes.  I kept mentioning it to The CEO and he kept choosing other recipes.  I think he thought it was going to be mushy or not flavorful.  So it took awhile to get around to making this dish.

I think The CEO regrets that now.  This dish has become one of the staples in our home.  It is tangy, nutritious, low carb, and yummy.  It has a butteriness to it that is a bit inexplicable.  At any rate, this stuff is good.


That's what it looks like when I first dump it into the Ninja.

This dish has evolved for me.  I initially used chicken thighs, then tried boneless, skinless chicken thighs (better), and last time I added chunks of a left over baked chicken (the flavorless one previously mentioned) in with the boneless, skinless chicken thighs...BEST.

Click here to download a link of my version of the recipe.  So far, I have coerced about three people into trying this dish and they all liked it.  Plus, this is simple.  So simple, in fact, that I almost feel insulted that The CEO likes it more than some of the dishes on which I have slaved away.  But I am not upset because it really is a genius meal.  Try this next time you are tired and don't wanna cook.

On other notes, I am so into the Josie Maran argan oil soaps that I have been struggling to branch out.  Perhaps someone should have The CEO hide them from me.  The CEO, however, has been trying out tons of handmade man soaps and has a few favorites.  I surely wish he would write a guest blog.

Finally, I put the finishing touches on my hot water bottle cover (complete with cables) on Tuesday and then spent the better part of a day trying to roll my skein of KnitCrate's Puddle Jumping by Jill Draper before casting on a new sock.  It has a 3 x 3 rib on the leg part of the sock and so far I am loving it.  For once, my cast on seems to have been right the first time!  At any rate, its fun and I am working toward my dream of making everyone dear to me a pair of socks.
