Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  1. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers.
  2. Bring the sauce to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
  3. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

  1. Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.

Step 5: Finish the Dish

  1. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
