Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the artichokes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chicken and artichokes with chopped parsley.
Serve warm, pairing with your choice of rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
