Martha Stewart’s Chicken with Artichokes: Great weeknight dinner

This is basically an easy chicken piccata with the added tastiness of artichoke hearts – and oh yes, it is tasty. I mean, it’s Martha Stewart’s recipe, so what did you expect?

Flour and season chicken cutlets, saute in some olive oil, then add the artichokes and capers and wonderful butter and lemon. Serve over angel hair pasta, et voila! It took about 40 minutes from start to plating, so this makes it a solid weeknight choice.

When I made the recipe, (click here to read the full recipe) though, I used half the chicken it called for as there were only two of us, but I kept the sauce amount the same – I love sauce. It actually could have used more sauce, so next time I make it for two, I will still halve the chicken amount but actually double the amounts for the sauce so the noodles get a good coating and there’s enough for left0vers.

Readers, if you make, this, please email me and let me know how you like it.
