- 4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
- 5 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided

What to Do
- Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dredge chicken in 2 tablespoons flour. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken, and cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter; set aside, and keep warm.
- Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid. Set artichoke hearts and liquid aside.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add remaining 3 tablespoons flour, stirring until mixture is smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
