Skillet Artichoke Chicken - Boneless chicken thighs smothered in artichoke hearts and capers; ready in under 30 minutes.
You guys, I'm so disappointed in myself.
Disappointed I didn't come up with this recipe sooner! Seriously, this meal is so ridiculously easy and has so much flavor. All you need are a handful of ingredients.
The other day I was chatting with my friend, One TIPsy Chick about stuffed artichokes. She had just made them and was telling me about the ones she cooked, which got me remembering my mom and grandmother making them. End of story, right? Wrong. Over the next few days I couldn't get artichokes off my brain. Then I opened my pantry and there they were. A jar of marinated artichoke hearts. I swear, it was glowing and there was music playing, drawing me to it. Okay, maybe not, but it sure felt like it. Anyway, I knew I had to use the artichokes, that night.
I had already planned on making boneless chicken thighs but hadn't quite decided how and I knew I could incorporate them somehow. After a quick scouring of the pantry and cabinets, I came up with a bottle of white wine and capers. I mean, can you ever go wrong with wine and capers? In case you are unsure, the answer is no. Never.
Okay, so the best part about this recipe is that it comes out kind of fancy pants, like you'd order in a restaurant BUT it really only takes about 20 minutes.
Since I've been trying to keep things semi-healthy over here lately, I served mine over quinoa instead of pasta or rice.
I told you it was easy, so here goes. All you've got to do is season your chicken with salt and pepper then brown it on both sides in a non stick skillet with a bit of oil. Once the chicken is browned ,pour in some wine and let it cook down for a few minutes then add in the capers and artichoke hearts, pop the cover on and let the chicken finish cooking. That. Is. It.
Note: If you can't have wine for some reason, just use chicken broth instead.
