When I was a kid, my mother took a cooking class with Giuliano Bugialli and learned how to make this dish. It tastes so rich and divine that you'd never suspect it's so economical and quick to make! She'd let me request a special meal for my birthday, and I often requested this dish.
Recipe: Chicken and Artichokes in Wine Sauce
Chicken and Artichokes in Wine Sauce
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized chunks
1 1/2 cups flour
Salt & pepper to taste
1 package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
About 2 cups of dry white wine
1/2 a lemon
Preparation:
Melt 1 tbsp. of the butter and 1 tbsp. of the olive oil in a skillet and add the artichokes. Cook until lightly browned. While cooking, dredge the chicken in the flour and sprinkle with salt. Remove the artichokes from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Set aside.
Melt the remaining butter in the skillet along with the remaining olive oil. Saute the chicken pieces in this mixture until golden brown on both sides. Add the artichokes back to the pan and season to taste with salt & pepper. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and let it bubble for a few minutes until nice and thick. Stir well to coat everything with the wine sauce.
Transfer to a plate and squeeze with fresh lemon juice.

Looks delicious! How large a package of artichokes? Would you serve it with rice or potatoes, or anything else?

@barlowgirl the standard Bird's Eye or Trader Joe's package found in the freezer section. About 2 cups of artichokes?
I usually just eat this with a green salad but you could serve it with some fettucine alfredo ...

I made this last night for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a big hit! I just served a green salad with it. This is definitely something I'll make again. Thanks!

I just made it tonight; it was really good except for the artichokes. (I had used canned artichokes) I personally would suggest steering away from canned chokes because most of them come with a really strong briny-taste that's really hard to mask/get rid of. Next time I'll go to my other grocer's and get frozen. :)

Where do you find Frozen Artichokes? My local store in Atlanta GA didn't seem to have any when I looked and I don't ever remember seeing any in the frozen aisle. I love artichokes so I'm pretty sure I would have bought them if they were there. Do I have to go to a Whole Foods or Trader Joes?

@caeebe Hmm, you aren't finding them in the frozen veg section at Publix, Kroger, etc? That's odd. Try Trader Joe's.

I can't find frozen artichokes either. I checked 3 stores this weekend. I don't think I've ever seen them before. Maybe they are only available in certain regions although that doesn't make sense since they are frozen.

that's very odd, I'm sorry you're having trouble finding them. Have you talked to the customer service rep at the grocery store? Maybe they can special order them or maybe they're in a hard-to-find place in the freezer section?

I am going to make this tonight! It sounds tasty and that photo makes a very convincing argument as well :)
