Okay, you all HAVE to try this recipe! It is SO good! It made enough for two meals for the two of us and I am actually looking forward to eating the leftovers--and I HATE leftovers!  Enjoy! Oh, and I couldn't find orzo (it's a tiny rice-shaped pasta and one of my favorites) at Wal-Mart, so I just used elbow macaroni instead. Try Barilla brand, it doesn't get mushy when you cook it.
Chicken and Artichokes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 13.75-ounce can whole artichoke hearts, drained, halved
1 lemon, peeled, thinly sliced
Cooked orzo (about 1/2 pound)
Chopped fresh parsley
Combine the oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper flakes in a small bowl for the dressing. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Saute in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides, 3-5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Add artichokes and dressing. Simmer and reduce about 3 minutes. Top chicken with slices of lemon; cook 2 minutes, or until dressing thickens. Serve over cooked orzo. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Makes 4 servings.
