Chicken With Artichokes image

I found this recipe in the November issue of 'Everyday Food'. My DH gave it 2-thumbs-up after the first bite. I chose not to make the coucous so I added the scallion greens to the recipe (see 'optional' note). This is the original recipe which serves one but I doubled the ingredients (and used 3 chicken breasts) and it was delicious.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
4 teaspoons olive oil, separated

2 scallions, sliced thin, separated (see note)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup artichoke heart, packed in water
4 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained, and slivered

Steps:

  • Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper.

  • In a medium skillet, heat 3 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  • Remove from pan.
  • To pan, add garlic, white part of the scallions and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits.
  • Add artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and remaining teaspoon of oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until artichokes are heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon over chicken.
  • OPTIONAL:.
  • You can serve this along-side coucous.
  • Bring a small pot of salted water to boil; add coucous.

  • NOTE: If you chose not to make the coucous add the scallion green at the same time you add the whites.
