Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breast Tender and juicy; substitute with boneless chicken thighs for extra richness.
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Flour Coats the chicken and thickens the sauce; cornstarch is a great gluten-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing flavor; don’t skip this step!
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper A pinch adds a mild heat; adjust according to your taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Perfect for cooking the chicken; vegetable oil can also be used if needed.
For the Vegetables
  • 1 cup Roasted Artichoke Hearts Introduces a unique flavor; asparagus or zucchini can work as tasty substitutes.
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Bring sweetness and tang; fresh tomatoes can be swapped in if in season.
  • 2 tablespoons Capers Add a salty, briny kick; feel free to omit if they're not your favorite.
For the Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Achieves the ideal balance with acidity; freshly squeezed juice is always best.
  • 1 cup Almond Milk Creates a creamy texture; any milk option works, including dairy for those who prefer it.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly Chopped Parsley Provides a pop of color and freshness; don’t forget this final touch!

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces that cook quickly. Coat each piece in seasoned gluten-free flour, giving it a light dusting of salt and ground pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the coated chicken to the pan and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining gluten-free flour with almond milk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  5. In the same skillet, add the roasted artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then pour in the prepared milk mixture along with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer briefly in the sauce until heated through, about 2–3 minutes.
  7. Plate your Mediterranean Chicken Skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
