Lemon Chicken with Artichokes and Capers


I pulled this recipe off of one of my favorite sites, www.recipezaar.com . We had this tonight for dinner and it was very good. I made a minor tweek to the amount of lemon juice, as it was just a bit lemony. This would make a great meal in the summer-time. Also, it would be good with the fresh asparagus in place of the artichokes and capers. I hope you enjoy!


Lemon Chicken with Artichokes and Capers


4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ cups chicken broth

1. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
