Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Adjust the rack in your oven to the lower-middle position. Set a large ovenproof plate on the rack and heat your oven to 200*.

  2. 2

    Halve one lemon, lengthwise. Trim the ends from one half and cut into thin slices. Juice the remaining half and the other whole lemon, leaving you with about ¼ cup juice. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Place each chicken breast portion between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly until about 1/4 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a large plate or pie plate. Dredge the chicken in the flour and shake the cutlets to remove the excess flour.

  5. 5

    Heat a large (12 inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and swirl the pan to coat. Lay half of the chicken pieces in the pan. Saute the pieces, without moving them, until lightly browned on the first side, about 2-2½ minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until the second side is browned, another 2-2½ minutes longer. Transfer the cooked chicken to the plate in the oven. Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the last pieces of chicken in the same way.

  6. 6

    Dd the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about a minute.

  7. 7

    Pour the white wine into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and cook until the wine reduces by half, 4-5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Add the broth, lemon juice, honey, artichoke hearts, reserved artichoke liquid, diced tomatoes and capers in the pan and simmer until the liquids have reduce by half, about 4-5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Add slices of lemon into the sauce (optional).

  10. 10

    Stir in the butter, season with salt and pepper, mix in the parsley,

  11. 11

    Return chicken to pan and toss to coat. Top with thin lemon slices and additional chopped parsley, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

  12. 12

    You can serve this with almost any sides you like, but I made whole wheat pasta with artichokes hearts, spinach, red onion and fresh tomatoes to go with the mediterranean theme of the meal.
