How long to bake chicken breast
It is very important to not overcook chicken breast because its easily gets dry. For a regular size breast it should take 20 to 30 minutes to cook. I ALWAYS use my meat thermometer when making any kind of meat or chicken.
Stick it to the thickest part of the breast. Its done when the thermometer shows 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chicken breast seasoning
My favorite seasoning for chicken is fresh oregano, rosemary and thyme. I didn't have fresh herbs so i used dried which is perfectly fine.
Can you make this recipe with thighs
Yes! Be aware that thighs will take a bit longer to cook, depending on the size. Artichokes and capers are delicious with any part of chicken and the spices will work just as well! And don't forget to check internal temperature in thighs as well.
How to make oven baked chicken with artichokes and capers
The whole recipe will take only about 30-40 minutes total and its very easy to make. Let me show you how:
First, rinse chicken breast under the cold water. Don't forget to clean the sink after. Keep the skin on if you want, it will get crunchy. But if you want to reduce the amount of fat, remove the skin completely.
Pat dry chicken with paper towels and prepare the rub. Mix thyme, rosemary, basil, garlic powder,salt and black pepper. Rub it all over chicken and place chicken in to a baking dish. Lightly spray with olive oil spray.

Open jars of artichokes and capers. Scoop artichokes into the dish, without oil or water. Arrange them around chicken. I uses the whole jar because i love artichokes!
You can also use frozen artichoke hearts. Scoop capers around and on top of chicken. those that are on top will get a little crispy.
Do not use a very big baking dish so all the artichokes are kinda lay down next to each other. It will prevent them from drying out.
Now just put the dish in to the oven and wait for about 20 to 30 minutes (until the internal temperature will reach 165 degrees). Time will fly and you will feel the delicious smell coming out of the kitchen.
Voila! Absolutely delicious baked chicken with artichokes and capers is ready! Let is sit on the counter for few minutes before slicing.
