Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 425° F

Step 2:

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil with the juice of 1 lemon, garlic, thyme and fennel seeds with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3:

Add the chicken breasts into the bowl and mix so that the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 4:

Preheat a skillet that is large enough to fit 3 chicken breasts on medium high heat. If you do not have a cast iron skillet, use a skillet that can withstand high heat and is oven-safe.

Step 5:

Add the chicken to the pan with all of the marinade and sear on one side for about 3 minutes. Then turn chicken so the browned, crispy side is up.

Step 6:

Add the onions, lemon and artichokes to the skillet, spreading them around the chicken, not on top, and transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for about 25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Step 7:

While the chicken is in the oven, cook the orzo according to the instructions on the package.

Step 8:

5 minutes before removing the chicken from oven, add the white wine to the pan. Cook for 5 more minutes then remove from oven.

Step 9:

To serve, slice the chicken and plate on top of the orzo and spoon the white wine sauce with onions, lemons and artichokes on top.
