Note: Don't 'ya just love magazine recipes that spill over onto other pages, or have the picture on one page, and the actual recipe about 30 pages later??? Yeah, that's what I thought. This recipe shamefully stolen from one of those women's magazines - HAHAHA!!! 1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper to season all sides. In a 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tsp. oil on medium-high heat until very hot. Add chicken and cook 8 minutes or until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, stirring occasionally. With slotted spoon, transfer chicken to bowl. 2. To same skillet, add remaining 1 tsp. oil. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until golden. Stir in artichokes, and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Stir in wine, and cook 1 minute on medium-high. 3. Add chicken broth and tomatoes; cover and cook 2 to 3 mins. or until most tomatoes have burst. Remove skillet from heat. Return chicken to skillet; stir in lemon peel until combined. Arrange arugula on platter; top with sauteed chicken mixture. Garnish chicken with lemon peel. Serves 6.
