Artichoke Chicken Piccata

 Easy to make and full of flavor.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds thin cut chicken breasts

1/2 cup flour  (or almond flour for gluten free)

1/4 cup ground Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish

Salt and Pepper

2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided

2 Tablespoons butter (or ghee)

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 jar (6 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 cup chicken broth

3 Tablespoons capers

Handful of fresh parsley, chopped



INSTRUCTIONS

In a shallow plate, combine flour, parmesan, salt and pepper.  Dredge chicken slices on each side into the flour mixture and shake off excess.

Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil. Working in batches, add the coated chicken and cook, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Use additional 1 Tablespoon of oil for each batch of chicken.

Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Add butter, garlic and artichoke hearts to the same pan and saute for about 2 minutes.  Add wine and bring to a high simmer, cooking until liquid is reduced by about half.

Pour in broth, fresh lemon juice and capers, Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and cook a few minutes more.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese.
