Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium high heat, and swirl to cover the bottom of the 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 any browned bits into the sauce.
  2. 2
    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 drained artichoke hearts. Cover and continue cooking for five minutes, or until the breasts are cooked through.
  3. 3
    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. Just a little salt will reduce the acidity of the lemons, capers and artichokes and balance the flavors. Serve the chicken with the artichoke hearts, capers and melted lemons drizzled with the glaze.

    I love this recipe! I am a huge fan of lemons and the taste of this dish was perfect for me. DH complained about the strong lemony taste, so next time I probably will only use half of the lemon juice and cut up only half of one lemon. This is a total keeper though, thank you for posting this!

    ELEGANT and EXCELLENT! I used b/s chicken breast tenders. I had already zested and juiced all of my lemons so I used those in place of lemon slices. It worked out just fine. Very nice tangy flavor but not too tangy and not bitter. I served it alongside some chilled lemon dijon asparagus for a wonderful lemony green dinner. Some sliced fresh tomatoes would be great with this! Made for the Please Review tag game.

    This is a wonderful light dish. Very easy to prepare. I followed the recipe as written. You do need to adjust the seasoning when reducing the sauce. Absolutely delicious!
