Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Dust the Chicken

    Lightly dust each chicken breast with flour, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon and Capers

    Stir in the lemon juice, capers, and artichoke hearts. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Cook Pasta

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt.

  2. 8

    Cook Linguine

    Add linguine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 9

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the linguine and set aside.

Prepare Salad

  1. 10

    Assemble Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss gently to combine.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, serve a portion of linguine topped with the chicken and sauce. Include a side of the prepared salad.
