Add a little white wine to the bottom of baking dish, cover, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and place breasts on serving dish. Deglaze baking dish with remaining wine and reserved artichoke liquid. Add mustard and simmer until sauce is thickened and reduced. Spoon sauce over each breast and serve.

Katie Couric's Lemon Chicken recipe


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


2 tablespoons butter


2 tablespoons olive oil


3 tablespoons flour


3 cups chicken broth


Juice of 2 lemons


Salt and pepper to taste





Pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to a uniform thickness. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.





In a large saut茅 pan, over medium heat, melt butter and oil until it sizzles. Add chicken breasts and saut茅, turning once or twice until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken and set aside.





Add lemon juice to the chicken stock and whisk into saut茅 pan.





Whisk in flour and cook for one minute until the mixture boils. Reduce heat to a simmer and return chicken to pan to heat through thickening sauce to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and ground white pepper.





Serve the chicken over a bed of Basmati rice and spoon the sauce over the chicken.





Servings: 4
Marinate, marinate, marinate. Then you can do anything to it and it will taste good! Italian dressing, wing sauce, and olive oil with garlic are my favs.
