  • About ½ cups flour
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1

Season the chicken slices with salt, pepper, and oregano.

2

Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess flour.

3

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or large sauté pan (not non-stick ) over high heat until very hot.

4

Add olive oil.

5

When oil begins to smoke, add the chicken pieces.

6

Cook until pieces are seared on both sides (1–2 minutes per side).

7

Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm, leaving the oil in the pan.

8

Add the lemon slices to the hot pan and cook until caramelized (about 1 minute per side).

9

Add the artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 2 minutes.

10

Add the white wine and cook until reduced to a glaze.

11

Return the chicken to the pan with the cream, and sauté for 2 minutes.

12

Add the spinach, rosemary, and cooked linguine.

13

Cook, tossing to combine linguine and sauce, just until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.

14

Serve immediately.
