Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 9

Stir in the lemon zest and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to reheat.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the dish.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dish, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
