    Artichoke Salsa with Lemon Chicken from Living Well Kitchen

    How was your 4th of July weekend?

    I hope it was fabulous and you were able to take a three day vacation to celebrate our nation's independence day.

    It's no secret that I like holidays, so I obviously celebrated the 4th with a crown, flag bathing suit, and red lips.

    I also posted a bunch of patriotic recipes last week -- like Patriotic Protein Pancakes, Independence Day Sangria, Patriotic Chicken Fingers, Red White and Blue Salad, and Fruit Flag.

    4th of July friends

    Now that I'm back, I have one of my favorite salads to share!

    This Artichoke Salsa and Lemon Chicken is a meal I seriously look forward to eating because it's really delicious and packed with veggies and lean protein.

    It's one of the first meals I made from another blog about 5 years ago, and I've made it a few times since then.

    Every time I make it, I wonder why I don't make it more often and more importantly, why have I not posted about it yet.

    Well, today is your lucky day because I have the recipe for you.

    Artichoke Salsa with Lemon Chicken from Living Well Kitchen

    It's pretty simple and requires just a little hands-on time.

    There are a few components to the meal, but it flows pretty smoothly if you follow this order: preheat the oven, make the artichoke salsa, cook the chicken, roast asparagus, plate spinach and top with sliced tomatoes, roasted asparagus, chicken, artichoke salsa, and sprinkle with cheese.

    And if you line the baking sheet with foil then you can make your clean up easier and only have to wash the skillet you cook the chicken in.

    I know it can be frustrating when you read a recipe and see a bunch of steps and dishes that you have to dirty.

    Usually, that means I'll skip making the recipe but this is definitely worth making and is quite simple if you just follow the above steps.

    However, even though you have to wash a skillet and a baking dish, you will be oh-so-happy that you did!

    This artichoke salsa is the perfect topping for the lemon chicken. And you can also serve it over cooked rice or quinoa if you aren't a fan of spinach.

    Or do both spinach and grains!
