How to Make Chicken piccata with artichoke

Put 2 cups of chicken stock and 1 cup of uncooked rice in a medium saucepan with the lid closed. Boil over medium heat; simmer for 15 minutes with the lid still closed. Mix in 4 of the scallions prior to serving
Mix flour, pepper and salt. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour mixture. Heat a large sauté pan above medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, 2 tbsp butter. Place the dredged chicken in oil (make sure it’s done in batches). Fry until brown on both sides.
In the same sauté pan, place mushroom and onions until they are just translucent. Add garlic and sauté for a minute. Be careful not to burn.
Add artichoke hearts, lemon juice and heat the mixture for two more minutes. Add 2 tbsp butter and stir. Add the chicken breasts back to the mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes in the sauté.

Place ½ cups rice in the corner of a plate, place the breast on the rice. The mushroom and sauce should be placed evenly on each serving.
