Easy way to cook Chicken Piccata with Artichokes and Spinach

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Stir in lemon juice, white wine (if using), capers (if adding), and red pepper flakes (if
using). Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Add jarred artichokes to the skillet and cook until heated through (about 5 minutes).
Stir in spinach (fresh or frozen) and wilt down into the sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the piccata over a bed of whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles for a low-carb
option.

Pro version

Add more artichokes for extra fiber.
For a tangy kick and briny flavor.
As a finishing touch for brightness.

Tips / Plating:

Garnish with fresh parsley, basil, or lemon zest for color and freshness.
Use a shallow dish to highlight the piccata sauce and ingredients.
If making it low-carb, substitute zucchini noodles ("zoodles") instead of pasta.
