Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs

Olive oil

2 shallots, sliced thin

14 Oz can artichoke hearts

3 cloves garlic, sliced thin

1 lemon

2 cups dry white wine plus 1 cup

Salt and pepper

Thyme (fresh or dried)

Optional: 2-3 tbsp coconut cream

.

Directions:

In a frying pan, heat up a couple tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Season your chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to your frying pan and sear for 3-4 mins per side, until golden brown. Remove from frying pan. Do this until all your chicken is cooked through.

Add a little more olive oil if necessary. Add in your chopped shallots and artichoke hearts. Allow to sauté until golden brown and soft. Add in your garlic and sauté until fragrant, ~1 min.

Add in your white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow to reduce by half. Add in your coconut cream if you are using it, plus the additional cup of white wine. Nestle your chicken into the sauce, season with thyme and cover. Allow to simmer on low for 35 minutes.

Serve hot, with some extra pepper and lemon zest. Enjoy!
