This recipe is a delight. Every.single.time.  It’s a Chicken Piccatta-esque dish plus a healthy amount of Butter, which takes it over the top!  I mean what is not to love about a lemon butter sauce, with zesty artichokes & capers over chicken? And when I say butter, I mean a whole STICK!  Thank goodness the Mediterranean diet embraces butter!! Served over rice with a lovely glass of chardonnay, and I am a happy girl!

Please try this one – you will be glad you did!

By:

Ingredients
  • 4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 6 TBSP flour
  • 1 TSP black pepper
  • 1 stick of butter (unsalted & divided)
  • 1 bunch of green onions - chopped
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 can artichoke hearts - quartered (in oil)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup - capers
  • 1/4 cup parsley - flat-leaf/ chopped
Directions
  • Step 1 In a shallow dish, combine 4 TBSP flour and black pepper.
  • Step 2 Dredge chicken breasts in mixture – set aside.
  • Step 3 Melt 1/2 stick butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add green onions.
  • Step 4 Saute about 2 minutes – add chicken to pan.
  • Step 5 Cook, turning once until lightly golden on each side, approx. 3 -4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Step 6 Next, add chicken stock and wine to the pan, stirring to scrape the tasty bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
  • Step 7 Meanwhile, knead together the remaining 2 TBSP of flour with the remaining 1/2 stick of butter, which has been cut into small pieces. I use a fork to work the flour into the butter, and leave bowl beside cooktop, to soften the butter.
  • Step 8 After sauce is reduced, whisk flour/butter combination into the sauce – stir until thickened.
  • Step 9 Then stir in lemon juice, salt & artichoke hearts (drained)
  • Step 10 Add chicken back to pan, and cook COVERED until heated through, about 7 minutes more. Just before serving, sprinkle capers and chopped parsley over top.
  • Step 11 Serve with your favorite veg and glass of chardonnay – Enjoy!
