Chicken and Artichokes

Submitted by Golden Sunflower

"An old recipe from an old friend. The first time I made this was for my old friend. She wasn't a very good cook, but had this recipe she wanted to try on a date that was coming over for dinner. She asked me to go by and make it for her and I had to scoot out quick before he showed up. He loved it and they have now been married for 19 years. I still say it had to do with the dinner I cooked. But he'll never know!!"
