Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking dish by spraying oil on the bottom and sides.

Wash 1 bunch of asparagus and trim the bottom 1/4 – 1/3 of the stalks and arrange in the bottom of the baking dish.
 
Place chicken over the asparagus in the dish. Then top with Marinated Cara Mia Artichokes (with the marinade) and sliced leeks over the chicken.

Pour the cup chicken stock into the bottom of the pan to add moisture while cooking. Sprinkle the entire dish generously with salt & pepper, oregano, thyme, basil, and garlic powder.

Cover with foil and bake in the oven for  30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the foil and place the dish in the broiler for 3-5 minutes to brown the top of the dish.
