2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
2 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 can roasted artichoke hearts
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (dried or in oil)
2 tablespoons capers
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper. Coat each chicken breast with the seasoned flour.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 10-12 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Set aside to keep warm.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk flour with almond milk until smooth. Add artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, then pour in the milk mixture and lemon juice, whisking until combined.
Simmer the chicken: Once the sauce thickens, return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated in the sauce.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Chicken Thighs: Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for a juicier result.
Non-Dairy Options: Use coconut or oat milk in place of almond milk for dairy-free options.
Vegetable Substitutes: Green beans, zucchini, or asparagus can replace artichokes.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
