If you like artichokes, this is a wonderful change to the traditional chicken piccata.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts - cut into thin strips (or use the thin sliced packaged raw chicken breast to save a step) shopping list
- 1 cup all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 1 egg, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped shopping list
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced shopping list
- 1 small jar capers shopping list
- 1/4 cup lemon juice shopping list
- 3/4 cup chicken stock shopping list
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and coursely chopped shopping list
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional) shopping list
- 1 lemon shopping list
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (garnish) shopping list
How to make it
- Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness between plastic wrap or waxed paper, or cut breasts into thin strips or fillets (slicing chicken breasts while still partially frozen works best for this). In a small bowl, beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Set aside. In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, paprika, and salt and pepper. Dip chicken into egg mixture and then dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and sauté chicken until light golden brown (about 45 seconds each side). Remove chicken from skillet, and set aside.
- To skillet, add mushrooms, garlic, lemon juice, chicken stock and white wine (optional). Simmer until a smooth, light sauce develops. Return chicken to the skillet, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Stir in artichoke hearts and capers, and heat additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and zest of lemon peel or thin slices of lemon and serve over thin linguini or your favorite pasta. Serves 4-6
