Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and 1 tablespoon parsley; stir 30 seconds. Add artichokes and stir to coat. Cover skillet; simmer until artichokes are tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; simmer until juices thicken and coat artichokes, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichokes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is soft, about 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chicken and basil; season with salt.
Meanwhile, toast the focaccia in a toaster oven or under the broiler and let cool slightly; roughly chop to make coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs over the chicken mixture and top with the mozzarella and parmesan.
Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the breadcrumbs are browned and the cheese is bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool, 5 minutes. Top with basil. Cool. Enjoy the Skillet Chicken Parmesan with Heart Artichokes !!

2 (15-ounce) cans artichoke hearts in water, 6 to 8 count, drained
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, plus a drizzle to coat baking dish
1/4 ripe lemon
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 flat anchovies fillets
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs, 3 handfuls
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
Coarse black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Turn drained artichokes upside down to get all the liquid out. Halve artichoke hearts, lengthwise. Drizzle a small casserole dish with a little extra-virgin olive oil, and spread it around the dish with a pastry brush. Arrange the halved artichoke hearts with tops up, bottoms down, in a layered pattern in the dish. Squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon over the hearts.
Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter to the skillet. When butter melts into oil, add garlic and anchovies. Using the back of a wooden spoon, work anchovies into oil as they break up. When anchovies have dissolved into oil, add bread crumbs to the pan and lightly toast, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley, cheese and black pepper, stir to combine and remove pan from heat. Top artichokes with an even layer of bread topping and set in the middle of oven. Bake 10 minutes until artichokes are warm and topping is deep golden brown in color. Enjoy it!
