  • 2 chicken breasts, poached
  • 1/2 a medium diced onion
  • 1 diced red bell pepper
  • 8 oz can of artichoke hearts, drained & rinsed
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon (juice only)
  • Ceramic casserole dish with glass top 

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Poach chicken, and make sure it's done (there should be no pink).

    Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces - try my 2 fork method of performing chicken-shredding surgery to pull it apart, so you don't get burned like I continue to do to myself.

    Mix chicken, onion, red bell pepper, artichoke hearts, garlic, and lemon juice in a medium casserole dish and mix well.

    Cover with glass top and bake in oven for 45 minutes.

    Remove lid, stir tomato sauce into the casserole, and cook uncovered for an additional 20 minutes at 350°F.
