Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts or Thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 jar (12 oz) Artichoke Hearts (marinated or canned)
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter (unsalted)
  • 3 cloves Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 small Shallot (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup Dry White Wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add diced shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
  7. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  8. Pour in white wine and chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
  9. Add artichoke hearts and lemon juice, bringing the liquid to a gentle simmer.
  10. Return chicken to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5-8 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure to use a large enough skillet to avoid steaming the chicken. Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Let the chicken rest before serving to retain moisture.
