Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 fourth cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring to heat them through.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and let it simmer for 2 more minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the chicken to coat. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to reheat the chicken and marry the flavors.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve hot, optionally with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
