TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 40 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.

Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter
2 jars (6 ounces each) marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) whole mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups chicken broth or 1 cup broth and 1 cup dry white wine
Hot cooked noodles
Minced fresh parsley

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter. Remove chicken to an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Arrange artichokes and mushrooms on top of chicken; set aside.
2. Saute onion in pan juices until crisp-tender. Combine the flour, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir into pan until blended. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Spoon over chicken.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a thermometer inserted in the chicken reads 165°, about 40 minutes. Serve with noodles and sprinkle with parsley.
Freeze option:
Cool unbaked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in the chicken to read 165°.
