Braised Chicken with Olives and Artichokes

We love fresh artichokes, but honestly they’re a lot of work to clean, trim, and chop, and we’ll reach for canned whenever they play a supporting role and are not the star of the show like in this recipe. Chicken, olives, lemon, garlic, and onion are braised with the artichokes until tender and saucy. The braising liquid tastes fantastic spooned over rice, but would also be great to soak up with pita bread. Whichever side you choose we think this meal is a hit – no thistle trimming required.

The onion mixture and the chicken will not fit together in 1 Suvie pan. You have to split them into two. (Don’t forget to defrost your chicken.)
