You won't want to let a drop of this creamy lemon sauce go to waste. Serve with rice pilaf or roasted potatoes to soak it all up.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound chicken cutlets

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 1 cup unsalted chicken broth

  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, rinsed and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook, flipping once halfway, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk cream, lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl.

  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add broth to the pan; bring to a simmer over high heat, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Whisk the cream mixture into the pan and cook, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan along with artichokes and dill; cook for 1 minute.

Tips

Canned artichokes add 3 grams of fiber per serving to this recipe as well as saving you from working with fresh artichokes. If you're lucky enough to find them, swap in frozen.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
