Chicken and Artichokes in Wine Sauce
Hubby and I have been trying to make new recipes at least once a week for dinner. The past few weeks, we’ve been kind of just eating the same things over and over again. So each Sunday before I go to the store, we both pick one new recipe. The good thing about having just two of us is that those two recipes usually feed us dinner for four nights out of the week.
I chose this recipe because I love mushrooms. And it looked like a great weeknight meal since it was pretty easy to throw together. The recipe definitely makes enough to have leftovers. I cut the chicken breasts in half so we were able to spread this out to six servings.
I plated this up family style for the pictures. We both really enjoyed the flavors of the mushrooms and artichokes. I use some of my homemade chicken broth in this recipe, which we’ve almost used up! It’s about time for another batch.

Chicken and Artichokes in Wine Sauce
Yield: 12
Ingredients:
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp dried sage, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 Tbsp safflower oil
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 8 or 9 ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and halved lengthwise (I used canned)
1 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 Tbsp snipped fresh parsley
Directions:
In a shallow dish, stir together flour, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper; reserve one tablespoon of flour mixture. Coat chicken in remaining flour mixture.
In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once. Remove chicken from skillet; cover and keep warm. Drain off any excess oil in skillet.
In the same skillet, cook mushrooms and artichoke hearts in hot butter over medium heat for 3 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
In a small bowl stir together reserved flour mixture, wine, broth, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until smooth. Add wine mixture to skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and cheese.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Thanks for posting the taco seasoning recipe. My husband and I make tacos all the time and were always buying those silly packets. Turns out we have all of the spices we need in our cupboard already! Looking forward to trying it!
Great idea. I tend to use the slow cooker more in cooler months, don’t know why, but I think I’ll try this – sure looks good.

A lot of people say that Libby, but I would argue that it’s even better in the summer because it doesn’t heat up your kitchen to cook dinner. We use ours about once a week.
Oh, man! That does look fantastic! I’m gonna give it a try as you were spot on with the 40clove garlic crockpot recipe!

Oops, congrats & good luck to your hubby!

Yum – everything is better when you make it yourself – even taco seasoning!
I love crockpot cooking!
This sounds really great! I am going to be using my crock pot a lot more as I get deeper into nursing school.
Also, did you get your new lens? That first picture is really great 🙂
