In a gallon-size plastic ziptop bag, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for approximately 8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has no pink left in the center.
3
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a platter. Cover it to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.

In the same skillet, add the canned diced tomatoes, sliced artichoke hearts, and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
5
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the tomato-artichoke mixture over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each chicken breast.
6
Cover the skillet for a minute or two, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately, spooning additional tomato-artichoke sauce over the chicken.
