Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 8 ounces Angel hair pasta
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the artichoke hearts and lemon juice, allowing them to heat through, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook the angel hair pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 6

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet with the artichoke mixture.

Step 7

Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
