Prepare the artichokes. Remove the stem from the artichoke, making sure to cut it flat and evenly. Use a serrated knife to cut the top 1/4" off of the artichoke. Use a spoon to open the leaves.
Make the stuffing. Combine the Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper, then stir to combine.
Stuff the artichokes. Use a spoon to spoon the stuffing into each artichoke leaf until it's stuffed. Drizzle the artichokes with olive oil.
Prepare the pot. Pour the chicken stock, lemon juice, and butter into a pot, then place it over high heat. Bring it to a boil.
Cook the artichokes. Place the artichokes in the pot, then reduce the heat to a simmer and place the lid on the pot. Cook the artichokes for 45 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the pot. Serve immediately. Mangia!
