Chicken with Artichokes and Melted Lemons
Delicious glazed chicken matched perfectly with artichokes in a lemony sauce.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat olive oil in an 8" skillet over medium-high heat. When the olive oil is heated, swirl it to cover the bottom of 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 and browned bits into the sauce.
- 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 artichoke hearts. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the breasts are cooked through.
- 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. A little salt will reduce the acidity of the lemons and balance the flavors.
- Serve the chicken with the artichoke hearts, capers, and melted lemons drizzled with the glaze.
- Note: based on recipe from the Best Life Diet.

Absolutely the most unpleasant food I have ever prepared! Incredibly sour result. And no. Salt did NOT mellow the lemon. Horrible.

I was surprised how good the lemon slices were. I used frozen artichoke quarters from Trader Joes. They tasted a little metallic. Next time I'll try this with the marinated ones. Still, this tasted great. It's a keeper.

This is my second time making this dish and I changed it up a little bit. Seasoned the chicken breasts yesterday with herbs so they would soak up the flavor. Also, added about a cup of sauteed mushrooms and only used one lemon. I didn't even bother with the pre-browning the breasts, just put everything in a large baking dish and baked uncovered for about 80 minutes. It browned up nicely without all that prework. Served with sauteed chard and skinny mashed potatos.

HealthyBabs is absolutely correct.... Delicious!
A beautiful fresh and zingy citrus chicken dish. I served with baked sweet potato and sautéed spinach. A new fav! Thank you Girl_Illa for sharing. :o)
