Chicken Piccata with Artichoke Hearts

Description

After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were ‘greasy,’ I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.
