  • Remove from skillet and set it on the side, leaving oil in skillet.
  • Add artichokes, onions, carrots and garlic to the skillet.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly tender, stirring occasionally,.

Notes
If you don't have a skillet that's safe for both oven and stovetop, you can place the chicken in a casserole-dish when you're ready to pop it in the oven.
