Equipment

  • large skillet or Dutch oven (5-quart)
  • Tongs
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed or sliced
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine or extra chicken broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in skillet and sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden (not fully cooked). Remove and set aside.
  • Add garlic to skillet and sauté 30 seconds. Deglaze pan with white wine or broth, scraping up browned bits.
  • Add broth, remaining salt, lemon juice, oregano, red pepper flakes, and artichokes. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Return chicken to pan, reduce heat, cover, and cook 5–7 minutes until chicken is tender and reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream until smooth. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before searing for the best crust. Use canned, jarred, or frozen artichoke hearts (thawed and drained). Substitute cream with coconut milk for dairy-free. Serve immediately with rice, bread, or vegetables to soak up the sauce.
