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)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the 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. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and artichoke hearts to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Step 9
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).
Step 10
If desired, stir in the capers during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dish, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
