Description

A delightful dish featuring golden-brown chicken, marinated artichokes, tangy capers, and a zesty lemon sauce, perfect for weeknight meals or special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Stir in the capers and artichoke hearts, and return the chicken to the skillet.
  5. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then add lemon juice and stir to combine.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice. Monitor cooking closely to prevent overcooking the chicken.
