Mediterranean Smothered Chicken

April 29, 2013

I am a fan of the flavors used in Mediterranean cooking. Capers, lemon, garlic, olive oil, basil, artichokes - I say yes, please to all of them! This chicken dish is quick to put together and delicious over brown rice that has been seasoned with a little bit of lemon juice or the pasta of your choice.

2 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 t. salt, divided
1 t. black pepper
2 large shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. sundried tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can quartered artichoke hearts
2 T. capers
1 t. lemon zest
2 T. lemon juice
3/4 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. chopped basil

Heat 1 T. olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and season with garlic powder, 1/2 t. salt and black pepper. Saute 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through and no longer...
