Italian Mozzarella Chicken W/Tomatoes & Artichokes image

This is a Pinterest recipe that I adapted to my tastes that is so simple but extremely delicious. We served ours over linguine that was drizzled with a little EVOO. This dish makes a lot of liquid even though I removed seeds from tomatoes and squeezed the artichokes. It never really thickened for me but I think that is what made the chicken so tender.
