Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced mushrooms, sliced green onions, minced garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, and tomato paste to create the base of the sauce.
  3. Stir in the dry white wine, sliced black olives, salt, oregano, dried basil, and black pepper until well mixed. Set aside.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer, skin-side down, in a large baking dish.
  5. Spoon the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken pieces.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil, turn the chicken pieces over, and spoon the remaining sauce over the top.
  8. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fork-tender and cooked through.
  9. Remove the dish from the oven and arrange the drained marinated artichoke hearts around the chicken.
  10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and artichokes.
  11. Cover loosely with foil again and let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. Meanwhile, warm your serving plates and mound cooked pasta onto each plate.
  13. Place a portion of the chicken and artichokes onto the pasta, then pour some of the pan juices over the top.
  14. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and whole black olives before serving.
