A bright weeknight dish that is perfect for busy nights

This one-skillet lemon artichoke chicken is so delicious and fresh. It uses minimal ingredients and comes together quickly.

Tender pieces of chicken breast in a vibrant lemon and artichoke sauce make for an easy, comforting meal. I love to serve this dish for a weeknight dinner, then pack up the leftovers for easy lunches all week!

I recently made this dish for my wife after a long day spent working on renovations in our new home. It came together so quickly and was just what we needed to refuel and unwind!

Kitchen Tools

  • Large skillet
  • Sharp knife and cutting board, for chopping
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs and wooden spoon, for sautéing and stirring

Serving Suggestions

This chicken with artichokes and lemon is best served alongside a starch or vegetable accompaniment.

I love serving it with a grain such as orzo, quinoa, rice, or pasta. All of these soak up the flavorful pan sauce so well. For a grain-free option, you could substitute cauliflower rice.

I’ve also paired this recipe with roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, peppers, and onions. Whatever side you choose, this dish will be a knock out in terms of flavor!

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Cornstarch or arrowroot starch – This coats the chicken to create a little bit of crisp and color. It also helps to thicken the pan sauce slightly
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lemons- you’ll utilize both fresh squeeze juice and slices of lemon!
  • Olive oil
  • Marinated artichoke hearts – These typically come packed in a glass jar.Eeither the canned vegetable aisle or the Italian/pasta aisle
  • Fresh parsley

How to make this dish for meal prep

To make this lemon artichoke chicken skillet for meal prep, follow the recipe as written. Choose a grain or vegetable base to serve with the chicken and prepare that as well.

Once everything is cooked, portion out the lemon artichoke chicken, grains, and vegetables into heat-safe individual containers. To reheat throughout the week, simply stick the containers in the microwave or oven, if oven-safe.

Leftovers keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.

How to make Lemon Artichoke Chicken Skillet

Step 1: Cut the chicken and dredge

To begin, cut the chicken breasts into thin pieces using a sharp knife. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

Coat each piece of chicken in the cornstarch mixture.

Juice 1/2 of a lemon to yield 1 tbsp lemon juice. Then, slice another lemon crosswise into circles. Set aside.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Next, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan if you don’t have a large skillet.

Sear the chicken for approximately 6 minutes, tossing often, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Step 3: Add the Lemon and Artichokes, and serve

Once the chicken is cooked, add the lemon juice, chicken broth, lemon slices, and marinated artichoke hearts. Let this mixture come to a bubble and simmer for approximately 5 minutes while the flavors marry.

Garnish with fresh parsley, serve with your favorite side, and enjoy!

    Hi Madeline! Should I drain the artichoke hearts before adding them?

      mine are packed in oil so I scoop them out with a fork, but the oil won’t hurt the dish! IF they’re packed in water I would drain, but that means they aren’t marinated and the dish might be lacking in a little flavor so just add a few other things to bump up the flavor!
