Lemon Artichoke Chicken

A delicious quick, easy and healthy chicken dish! I used inspiration from Aida Mollenkamp’s ‘Food Network’  recipe… but made a few of my own changes!

Hope you enjoy!

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1/2 Small Yellow Onion (Finely Chopped)
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken meat
  • Largely Diced
  • Or use a meat tenderizer to make the pieces thinner
• 1 cup quartered artichoke hearts (canned or jarred)
• 2/3 Cups Dry White Wine
• 1/3 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Tsp. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 1 Tsp. Lemon Zest
• 1/2 Cup Lightly packed, thinly sliced basil leaves

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
2. When the oil is warm (shimmering) add onions and season with salt and pepper.
3. When the onions start to get translucent add the chicken – cook until well browned on each side. (Roughly 5 minutes)
4. Add artichoke hearts and garlic… cook until artichokes are slightly broken down.
5. Add chicken stock, wine and lemon juice – scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits.
6. Cook until the alcohol smell is cooked off and the sauce has reduced a little.
7. Remove from heat, stir in Lemon Zest, and Basil
8. Serve and Enjoy!
