INGREDIENTS:
- 1.5 lb chicken breast cut in half on lengthwise to cook faster
- 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz can of roasted artichoke hearts drained
- 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes
- 3 tbsp capers drained
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp gluten-free flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a medium bowl, mix the 2 tablespoon of flour with salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat each piece of chicken with the seasoned flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of 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 of flour with the almond milk until no visible lumps.
- To the same preheated skillet, add the artichokes together with the sun-dried tomatoes and capers.
- Sautee for about 2 minutes, then add the milk mixture to the pan and the lemon juice; 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 fresh parsley.
NOTES:
- Chicken: we used boneless chicken breast, but you may use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Milk: Any milk of choice will work, we used almond milk.
- Capers: Some either love or hate capers. If you arent too fond of capers you can skip it.
- Artichoke hearts: we love adding artichokes, but can be substantiated with another veggie of choice like asparagus, green beans, or broccoli.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for optimum flavor. If in a pinch you can use bottled lemon juice.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Serving size: one chicken breast
