Recipe Introduction

Always pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels before cooking them. Removing this extra moisture ensures that they'll start to caramelize and brown instead of steam. If you'd like, you can use canned artichoke hearts in place of the frozen ones; rinse them before adding them to the skillet.

List of Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (9-oz.) pkg. frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1
teaspoon dried
3/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives



Recipe

1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil; heat until hot. Cook chicken 6 to 8 minutes or until browned, turning once.

2. Add artichoke hearts and shallots; reduce heat to low. Add wine; sprinkle with rosemary. Cook, covered, 4 to 5 minutes; turn chicken. Add olives; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Place chicken on platter.

3. Increase heat to high. Boil cooking juices, artichokes and olives 1 to 2 minutes or until liquid is slightly reduced. Pour over chicken.
