    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat olive oil and butter together in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

    When butter is sizzling, add chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Brown one side of the chicken pieces, 3 to 5 minutes; turn, and add diced red onion, minced garlic, and minced fresh basil. (See Note.)

    Cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant and onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Season with pepper flakes, and add artichokes and tomatoes. Stir in spinach; remove skillet from heat.

    Combine Italian seasoned bread crumbs and shredded Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over skillet contents.

    Bake in the center of the preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and brown, about 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

    Cook’s Note

    It is only necessary to brown one side of chicken pieces; the chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
