Chicken and Artichoke Pasta

I just made this amazing pasta dish!

 ingredients: for 2 persons

  • 1/2 pound of chicken breast
  • 2 1/2 artichoke hearts
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 steak tomato
  • olive oil for cooking and sauce
  • 4 oz of chicken broth
  • 4 oz of cooking white wine
  • 3 pinches of flour to condense sauce
  • 1 table spoon of capers
  • lemon for squeezing
  • 4-5 gloves on garlic
  • a couple pieces of onion
  • salt
  • pepper
  • parsley
  • parmesan cheese (optional)
  • pasta (or make it: http://mycookingisamazing.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-homemade-pasta.html)



Now you are going to cook:
Boil water for the artichoke. Cut artichoke in quarters, chop off top of leaves and most of the stem and scoop out the hairs. Boil artichoke (covered) for 10-12 minutes. Then place quartered artichokes on BBQ for 5 minutes each side.

While artichoke is cooking, boil water for pasta ( I used bow tie pasta for this dish! :) ). Place pasta in boiling water until cooked. (OR MAKE YOU OWN: http://mycookingisamazing.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-homemade-pasta.html)

Saute red bell peppers, while they are cooking, add chicken and the rest below:
Cut up chicken breast into 1 inch pieces, place in frying pan with a generous amount of olive oil on medium head. Add the small amount of onion for taste. Add garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley to taste. Saute for a couple minutes.

Add chicken broth, a little drizzle of olive oil, and cooking white wine to chicken, simmer for a couple minutes. Add in chopped fresh tomatoes, capers, and a pinch of flour - simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

Cut off the artichoke hearts from the leaves (you can eat these too), chop up hearts and add to a bowl. Throw in the rest of the chicken, sauce, etc into a large bowl and mix - serve immediately and enjoy!
