How to Make Artichoke Chicken Sandra Lee Semi Homemade

1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

3. Gently shake off any excess flour.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust cooking time based on thickness of breasts and heat of your stove.

7. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
8. Uncover the skillet, stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons butter. Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
9. Arrange 5 ounces fresh spinach on a serving platter.
10. Spoon the chicken and sauce over the spinach.
11. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra lemon zest or capers if desired.
