Servings: 4 Print

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, butterflied lengthwise into 4 cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 leek, white part only, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups quartered artichoke hearts, frozen or canned/jarred
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 3/4 cup green California grapes
  • 3/4 cup red California grapes
  • 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan along with the garlic, leek and a pinch of salt; cook on medium heat 2-3 minutes to soften the leeks. Stir in the oregano, artichokes, wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add the chicken back to the pan, basting each breast with the sauce. Add the grapes and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the grapes are just soft and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in fresh parsley and serve.
