Chicken with Artichokes

It had been quite a while since I made chicken. I've been seeing lots of beautiful pan-sear chicken cutlets online lately and decided to try to do something with those.

Chicken with Artichokes
Chicken breasts (or cutlets)
2 cans of artichoke hearts in water
2 TBLS capers
1 clove garlic, minced garlic
1/2 C dry white wine
1 C chicken broth
1/3 C flour
salt & pepper
olive oil

Mix the flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish or plate and set aside.
Slice the chicken into cutlets and dredge them in flour.
Add some olive oil to a skillet and heat at medium temperature.
When the oil is hot, cook chicken until golden on each side. Don't crowd the pan.
Set cutlets aside.
Deglaze the pan with white wine.
Add minced garlic and cook for a minute or two.
Add chicken broth and cook for a few minutes.
Add chicken cutlets back to pan. Drain artichokes and add them to the pan along with capers.
Cook until artichokes are heated through and chicken is cooked through.
Serve with pasta.

This was a wicked quick and easy dinner for a week night... but looks elegant enough for company!
