Mediterranean Chicken Sun-Dried Artichoke (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Poultry

01 - 680 g chicken breast, thinly sliced

→ Seasonings

02 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
03 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Coating

04 - 60 g flour (all-purpose or gluten-free option)

→ Vegetables & Condiments

05 - 225 g roasted artichoke hearts, drained
06 - 170 g sun-dried tomatoes
07 - 3 tablespoons capers, drained

→ Liquids

08 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

→ Oils

09 - 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

# Instructions:

01 - Evenly season sliced chicken breast with salt and ground black pepper. Dredge each piece lightly in flour, ensuring all sides are coated.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the floured chicken pieces in a single layer and sear for approximately 4 minutes until golden. Flip and cook an additional 4 minutes on the opposite side over medium heat. Remove browned chicken to a plate.
03 - In the same skillet, add roasted artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir to combine over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and incorporate 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, stirring gently.
04 - Push the vegetable mixture to the sides of the skillet. Return the browned chicken pieces to the center. Cover and cook on low-medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary, until chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.
05 - Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the vegetables and olive oil from the skillet over each portion.

# Notes:

01 - Monitor the heat closely while simmering to avoid overcooking the chicken and to preserve tenderness.
