Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 20 minutes   Cook Time: 25 minutes  

Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
6 Tbsp flour, divided
1 tsp black pepper
½ cup butter, divided
½ cup chopped green onions
2 cups chicken stock or broth
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 can artichoke hearts, quartered
1 tsp salt
¼ cup capers
¼ cup chopped parsley

Directions

In shallow dish, combine 4 tablespoons flour and black pepper. Dredge chicken breast halves in mixture.

In large skillet over high heat, melt ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick). Add green onions; sauté over medium heat until softened, about 2 minutes.

Add chicken to pan; cook, turning once, until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.

Add chicken stock and wine to pan, stirring to scrape bits off bottom. Bring mixture to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.

In small bowl, knead together remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and ¼ cup butter. Whisk into sauce and stir until thickened. Stir in lemon juice and artichoke hearts. Stir in salt.

Add chicken and cook, covered, until heated through, about 7 minutes. Just before serving, add capers and chopped parsley to chicken.
