Ingredients

  1. 4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  2. Salt and ground black pepper
  3. 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  4. 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  5. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  6. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  8. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  9. 1/2 cup dry white wine
  10. 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  11. 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, quartered
  12. 1/4 cup drained capers
  13. 1 cup quick-cooking brown rice
  14. 1/2 cup frozen lima beans

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in zip-top bags and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from bag and season all over with salt and black pepper. In a shallow dish (or plastic bag), combine flour, lemon zest, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add chicken and turn to coat. Remove chicken from flour mixture and shake off excess flour.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add lemon juice, wine and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens. Add artichoke hearts and capers and simmer 1 minute to heat through.
  3. Cook rice according to package directions, adding lima beans at the beginning of cooking process. Serve chicken and sauce with rice.

I’ve made this recipe multiple times before. Adding lemon zest to the flour mixture is absolute genius.

I’ve also made variations of this recipe, too. For example adding sun-dried to the sauce really make this recipe pop. I also love serving it over cappellini but probably need to double the sauce

This was so delicious! I don’t care for lima beans so I substituted diced asparagus. My husband raved. I forgot how easy this is to make. I’ll be making it more often. Thank you for the delicious recipe.

Second time I’ve made this, I substituted spinach for Lima beans. I put it in after capers. Delicious! Also, I served with angel hair pasta.

I changed the rice to white rice with broccoli, bell pepper, and cheddar cheese. I cooked the chicken exactly as the recipe stated and it was tender and delicious.

Made this as lunch for a couple of days. Tasted wonderful. Nice warm flavors, but didn’t make you feel too stuffed where you’re sleeping on the job. Delicious recipe.
