Chicken with Tangy Artichoke and Mushroom Sauce

1 pound thinly-sliced chicken cutlets

Salt and ground black pepper

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons butter, divided

8 ounces mixed or button mushrooms, sliced

1 can (14 ounces) quartered artichoke hearts, drained

¼ cup dry white wine

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

3 tablespoons lemon juice

½ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt

½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a bowl, then dredge each cutlet through to lightly coat.

In a heavy saute pan over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the butter has melted, add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden and crusty on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a platter and cover with foil.

Return the saute pan to the heat and add the remaining oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook until the mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes, then add the artichoke hearts. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, another 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the wine, broth and lemon juice and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the pan. Let the sauce bubble, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat, then adjust seasoning. Place the yogurt in a small bowl and whisk in about ⅓ cup of the mushroom sauce. Whisk the yogurt back into the sauce in the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Serves four.
