Chicken Tetra-Nina

This is a remixed version of an "old favorite" and this one has no mushrooms (we have an allergy concern in my home), so you can easily replace the artichokes with cooked or canned mushrooms.

Ingredients

	6 oz cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast  (precooked rotisserie chicken is fine - remove the skin and bones)

Mix it all together.  ~ If you're finishing the dish in the skillet, remove from the heat and sprinkle a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan on top and place in the oven for 15 minutes. If you're decanting it into an oven-proof dish, spray the dish with cooking spray then put the mixture in the dish, sprinkle and finish as above. Serve immediately for a delicious dinner!
