Ingredients

1 ½ - 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
½ cup all-purpose flour plus additional 2 TBSP flour for sauce
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Juice of 1-2 lemons ¼ cup plus zest of 1 lemon
2-3 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup capers
2 fresh artichokes hearts and soft inner leaves or 1 can artichoke hearts
2-3 TBSP olive oil
1 ½ cups chicken stock
2 TBSP butter
¼ cup parsley chopped

Instructions

Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise and pound the breasts thin with a meat tenderizer.
Salt and pepper the chicken pieces and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
In a pan over medium heat, add 2 TBSP olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken pieces for 1-2 minutes per side and let drain on paper towels.
Add 1 TBSP olive oil to the slow cooker and lay the chicken pieces down on the bottom.
If using fresh artichokes, cut away the leaves until you are left with the softest leaves and the artichoke hearts. You can also use a can of artichoke hearts and drain them. Add the artichokes to the slow cooker, along with the other ingredients.
Add the garlic, lemon juice/zest, capers, and chicken stock.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Combine the flour and butter in a pan over medium heat and pour in the juices from the slow cooker. Whisk until combined and add any additional seasoning if desired.
Pour the sauce on top of the chicken piccata and garnish with parsley and additional lemon juice if you like.
