Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a medium skillet that has a lid, add avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat. Don’t let oil smoke.
Add chicken breasts, seasoned side down into pan with oil.
Add whole grape tomatoes to the pan in the oil around the chicken.
Let chicken and tomatoes sear 2 minutes. Pour artichoke juice all over the chicken and tomatoes (this helps to tenderize the meat and makes flipping the breasts easier).
Now, flip the chicken. It should be a light golden brown.
Pour the artichoke hearts and olives over the chicken.
Add additional filtered or spring water just to barely cover chicken to keep moist.
Put the lid on the chicken and place in the preheated oven.
Bake covered for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, divide chicken, vegetables and sauce among plates.
Serve.
