Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces roasted artichoke hearts drained
  • 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons capers drained
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup almond milk or any other milk
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Lightly coat each piece of the 1.5 pound chicken breast with the seasoned flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons 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 gluten-free flour with the 1 cup almond milk until no visible lumps.
  • To the same preheated skillet, add the 8 ounces can of roasted artichoke hearts together with the 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes and 3 tablespoons capers. Sautee for about 2 minutes, then add the milk mixture to the pan and the 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 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 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Chicken: I used boneless chicken breast, but you may use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. Milk: Any milk of choice will work, I used almond milk. Capers: Some either love or hate capers. If you aren’t too fond of capers you can skip it. Artichoke hearts: 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.
