Ingredients
  

Meat :

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts cut into thin fillets

Produce :

  • 8 oz roasted artichoke hearts canned or jarred, drained
  • 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Refrigerated :

  • 1 cup almond milk

Condiments :

  • 3 tbsp capers drained
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Baking & Spices :

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free flour

Oils & Vinegars :

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken : Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper. Coat lightly in gluten-free flour, shaking off excess.
  • Sear the Chicken : Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken fillets for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Create the Sauce Base : In the same pan, lower the heat to medium. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, roasted artichoke hearts, and capers. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Deglaze and Simmer : Stir in the almond milk and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a slightly thicker consistency, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine and Finish : Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets. Cover and simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  • Serve : Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with rice, quinoa, or a side salad for a complete meal.
