Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) chicken breast, halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 cup almond milk
- 8 oz (227 g) roasted artichoke hearts, drained
- 3 oz (85 g) sun-dried tomatoes
- 3 tbsps capers, drained
- 2 tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tbsps gluten-free flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preparation: Coat chicken pieces uniformly with gluten-free flour, salt, and pepper to create a delicate crispy exterior.
- Searing: Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature, cooking chicken until golden-brown and thoroughly done, approximately 10-12 minutes per side.
- Resting: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, covering to maintain warmth.
- Sauce Development: Whisk almond milk with remaining flour to create a smooth base, then sauté artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers in the same skillet to release their aromatic flavors.
- Sauce Integration: Pour almond milk mixture and lemon juice into the skillet, whisking to create a cohesive sauce that gradually thickens and concentrates its flavors.
- Final Assembly: Reintroduce chicken to the skillet, simmering to ensure complete reheating and thorough sauce coverage.
- Serving: Plate the Mediterranean chicken skillet immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Flour Coating Technique: Evenly dust chicken with seasoned gluten-free flour to create a crispy, golden exterior that locks in moisture and adds delightful texture.
- Skillet Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat to achieve perfect browning without burning, allowing chicken to develop a beautiful caramelized crust while cooking thoroughly.
- Sauce Consistency Tip: Whisk almond milk and flour carefully to prevent lumps, creating a smooth, silky sauce that clings perfectly to the chicken and vegetables.
- Fresh Herb Finishing: Sprinkle chopped parsley just before serving to boost flavor, add bright color, and introduce a fresh, aromatic element to the Mediterranean-inspired dish.
