And, I even made it up myself!!!

Sauteed some chicken tenders in olive oil, butter, white wine vinegar, garlic and other spices, .
Took them out after they browned, sauteed some zuchini and chopped tomatoes in the pan drippings till tender. Added some canned mushrooms and chopped artichoke hearts. Poured in just a bit of chicken broth and fresh lime juice.
Put the chicken back in and simmered for about 5 minutes. Sprinkled a bit of fresh parmesean on it.
I served it over rice. The whole family just wolfed it down!!!

Minus the cheicken :-), that sounds really good. I made a good dinner too- I sauteed garlic, onions, spinach, zuccini, mushrooms, and yellow bell peppers with a little sage, red pepper flakes and pepper and mixed it with pasta and olive oil, then added two little boxes of cherry tomatoes cut in half and asiago cheese. Yum!

I LOVE artichokes (they're great with hollindaise sauce). I'd have added them too but the flavoring in the canned ones overwhelms the olive oil and other flavors and I don't like that for this meal...and the frozen ones just never taste quite right to me.

Yum, Kaili your meal sounds really good too! I do something similar to that with shrimp. (hmmm, might need to cook that this week, the kids were asking for shrimp).
Are you a vegetarian?
Do you buy the marinated ones? I find the regular ones do fine.

Yeah I am...No, I buy the regular canned ones- not the marinated ones in the thick oil, although those are good in cold pasta salads. It's just the juice in the cans has a certain flavor. I like it, but I wanted olive oil flavor more. I put the canned artichoke hearts on pizza and in couscous.

Texannie that sounds very good, now I am really hungry and I have to go to the "wheel of death" vending machine and find myself some lunch.

I am always looking for new ways to prepare chicken and this one sounds great.
