Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast cut in half lengthwise to cook faster
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces roasted artichoke hearts drained
  • 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons capers drained
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup almond milk or any other milk
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Lightly coat each piece of the 1.5 pound chicken breast with the seasoned flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. If needed, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the other 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour with the 1 cup almond milk until no visible lumps.
  • To the same preheated skillet, add the 8 ounces can of roasted artichoke hearts together with the 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes and 3 tablespoons capers. Sautee for about 2 minutes, then add the milk mixture to the pan and the 2 tablespoons lemon juice and whisk well to combine.
  • Once the sauce starts to thicken, return the chicken to the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, until hot.
  • Serve warm garnished with 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

I used boneless chicken breast, but you may use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. Any milk of choice will work, I used almond milk. If you're not fond of capers you can skip them. Artichokes can be substituted with another veggie like asparagus, green beans, or broccoli. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for optimum flavor. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Serving size is one chicken breast.
