Instructions
PREPARE THE CHICKEN:
Cut the whole chicken breast in half. Then fillet the two halves into four thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
COOK THE CHICKEN:
Heat the olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan. If there isn’t enough room, only cook two chicken cutlets at a time.
Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked through; about 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
MAKE THE LEMON DILL SAUCE:
Pour the broth into the pan and bring to a simmer over high heat, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook the broth until it reduces by half; about 5 minutes.
Whisk the cream, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl then pour it in the skillet with the broth. Whisk the cream mixture until it thickens; about 2 to 3 minutes.
COMBINE:
When the sauce has thickened, add the chicken and any juices from the chicken in the bottom of the plate to the pan along with the artichokes and dill; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until warmed through.
SERVING:
Serve immediately, with your favorite rice, potatoes, or pasta with, lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Artichokes: Canned and frozen artichokes can be used interchangeably. However, the artichokes need to be thawed and drained of excess moisture. So plan ahead!Save Money: Filleting the chicken breast yourself will save you money. Check out this post: How To Fillet A Whole Chicken BreastDark Meat? Yes, boneless skinless thighs would make a great substitute.Dried Dill: can be used instead of fresh. Decrease to 1 teaspoon because dried spices are more potent. Make sure you check the date on your dried dill before using it. If it’s old toss it!
