Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts (quartered, drained)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine (optional, or substitute more chicken broth)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons capers (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine (or additional chicken broth), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and artichoke hearts to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Lower the heat to medium and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
If desired, stir in the capers during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dish, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
