What You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided

Notes

Gotta have a way to sop up this delicious sauce, so we're suggesting our Lemon Garlic Rice as a go-along!

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

This turned out great. The artichoke and capers are an excellent addition!!!

Made this tonight and served it with white jasmine rice. Yum! It has a wonderful tangy lemon flavor. It reminded me of Greek avgolemono soup. Some changes I flattened the chicken breasts for quicker cooking and added a tablespoon of cornstarch to make the sauce thicker. I will leave out the artichokes next time because they have a rough texture.

I pull off the outer artichoke leaves which helps with the texture being smoother.

Truly an easy tasty recipe with or without the artichokes. Try lemon garlic rice from this site as a side dish.....excellent.

my daughter does not like artichokes, so I am gonna use suger snap peas!

sounds wonderful can hardly wait to try it!

This dish is so easy and delicious. It has a delicious sauce, and I served it with herbed quinoa. Definitely a keeper.
