Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 14 ounces artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 6 slices lemon slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs and Parmesan cheese together until well combined.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, coating evenly.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt.

Step 6

Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the artichoke hearts. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.

Step 10

Transfer the chicken and artichoke hearts to a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices before serving. Enjoy!
