 3 chicken breast halves
Marinade
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 2 tbsp plain yogurt
 2 tbsp white wine
 1 tbsp olive oil
 1 ½ tsp chopped garlic
 ½ tsp dried oregano
 ½ tsp kosher salt
Cooking
 10 sun-dried tomatoes
 1 cup boiling water
 1 cup white wine
 4 cups chicken stock
 2 tbsp vegetable oil
 2 tbsp butter
 2 cups long grain white rice
 1 cup onion
 1 tbsp chopped garlic
 ½ tsp dried thyme
 1 cup roasted red peppers
 1 15oz can plain artichokes
 salt and pepper to taste
1

Cut the chicken into 1" cubes and place in a bowl or plastic bag to marinate.

2

Mix marinade ingredients and add to bag or bowl. Allow to marinate in fridge for at least 3 hours. Overnight is better.

3

When you're ready to cook, place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with water. Set aside to rehydrate. If you're using sundried tomatoes packed in oil, skip this step.

4

Drain the and RESERVE the marinade.

5

Heat a large, deep frying pan to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Brown the chicken in two batches. Don't cook it through. Add browned chicken back to the bowl with the marinade. Set aside.

6

Add rice and onions to the pan. Add a little butter or oil to the pan and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes stirring frequently. Add the garlic and continue cooking and stirring for another minute, until fragrant. Add the wine, all at once and stir until it's absorbed.

7

Once the wine is absorbed, add the chicken stock, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and stir to combine and scrape any brown bits off the bottom. It will seem like a lot of liquid. Don't worry, it will be mostly absorbed by the rice.

8

Add the chicken and reserved marinade to the pan. Add the soaked/drained tomatoes, artichokes, peppers and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine and cover.

9

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to be sure the rice isn't sticking.

10

When the rice is done, serve garnished with parmesan. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for color if you have it.
