Ingredients

1.8 lbs chicken breast (whole)
1 clove garlic
4 artichokes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 sprigs thyme
1/2 cup white wine
1 lemon
3 tbsps all-purpose flour

Tools

1 Knife
1 Cutting board
1 Pan

Steps

Cut the chicken breast into cubes of about 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 inches), coat them with flour.
Pour the oil into a pan and heat over medium heat.
As soon as the oil is hot, about 1 minute, add the chicken.
Sauté for 5 minutes over high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pan and set aside.
Clean the artichokes by removing the tougher outer leaves, clean the stem of the dark green part, and cut the tips of the artichokes.
Rub the lemon over the entire artichoke and soak in water and lemon juice to prevent the artichoke from darkening. Proceed in the same way with all the artichokes.
Cut the artichokes into slices about 3-4 mm (1/8 inch) thick.
Slice the garlic.
In a saucepan, add the oil with the garlic slices and heat.
Add the artichokes and a few tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and let cook for 10 minutes, checking if more water is needed.
Add the chicken breast and thyme, after about 2 minutes, deglaze with white wine.
Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes and serve.
