Place chicken breasts and drained artichokes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Stir together reserved artichoke liquid, cheese, mayonnaise, and salt in a small bowl. Spread mixture evenly over chicken. Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 22 to 25 minutes.
