Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 14-ounce can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 1 whole lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the artichoke hearts and lemon slices, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot, optionally with rice or crusty bread.
