Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast, cut lengthwise to cook faster
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour (for dredging)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces canned roasted artichoke hearts, drained
- 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour (for the sauce)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of chicken breast in the seasoned flour.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sear for 10–12 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Work in batches if needed. Remove chicken and set aside, covered.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon flour into the almond milk until smooth.
- In the same skillet, add artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. Sauté for 2 minutes, then pour in the almond milk mixture and lemon juice. Stir well and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for another 2–3 minutes, allowing everything to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- This dish is great served with rice or quinoa.
- You can substitute the almond milk with any milk of choice.
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lemon juice and herbs before cooking.
