Lemon Artichoke Chicken Recipe

Another one of my favorite, super easy chicken dinner recipes is this delicious Lemon Artichoke Chicken dish. The seasoning is soon tasty, and the chicken comes out perfectly juicy and tender. At just 5 Points per serving, you get a delicious entree that offers a nice amount of protein and fiber with barely any carbs.

Also, note that the recipe only calls for a tsp of saffron threads, but my photo may show more. I tend to get a little heavy-handed with the saffron because I adore it, but feel free to use as much or as little of the saffron as you want.

This dish works really nicely over orzo pasta or brown rice, and I like to serve it with a simple side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
