Artichoke Dinner Club
The dish that started it all. What started off as a simple dish we used to make for weeknight dinners evolved in to one of our signature dishes and is still a weekly favorite for our family. The combination of roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic, red wine vinegar and artichokes make this simple and rustic dish packed with flavor. We like to top it with our Artichoke Vinaigrette and serve it with a side of Charred Broccoli with fresh lemon juice. A great aspect of this recipe is it is easily adjusted based on your family or party size, simple reduce recipe by half or add an extra chicken breasts and a side salad to feed more.
