This dish is filling enough for lunch for two people, but if you're serving it for dinner you might like to add something like cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles. For this recipe I've used a small jar of marinated artichoke hearts, but a small can would work fine too.

How to Make Low Carb Chicken Skillet with Red Pepper and Artichoke

Heat some butter and olive oil in a large skillet. When the butter has melted, add some chunks or slices of chicken breast and minced garlic (or garlic paste). Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked on all sides, stirring frequently. Add some diced red bell pepper, and continue to cook until it has softened. Add the drained artichoke hearts and stir well.

Taste for seasoning, and add salt, pepper and even a splash of lemon juice if you feel like it needs it. Finish with some chopped fresh parsley and serve.

I love the combination of colors, don't you?
