Ingredients

  • 2 tsps olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 lemon yields lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsps drained capers
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, quartered
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash pepper

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in an 8" skillet over medium-high heat. When the olive oil is heated, swirl it to cover the bottom of pan.
  • Add the chicken breasts and sear them until browned. Turn the chicken, and brown them on the other side. Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and increase the heat to high.
  • Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, scraping up and browned bits into the sauce.
  • Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon slices to the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and place the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices.
  • Add the capers, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and add the artichoke hearts. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the breasts are cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken to a warm plate. Increase the temperature and reduce the sauce to a glaze. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. A little salt will reduce the acidity of the lemons and balance the flavors.
  • Serve the chicken with the artichoke hearts, capers, and melted lemons drizzled with the glaze.
