This is a wonderfully simple dish, filled with an amazing array of bright and briny flavors that create something so simple and wow so good! Artichoke hearts, fennel, capers, garlic, lemon slices plus a generous sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan add so much flavor to juicy and tender braised chicken breasts. I only wish I had added some toasted pine nuts to bring a little bit of awesome crunch to the whole thing.<\/p>\n

The arrival of cold season is a definite sign that fall is here and winter is soon to come. Suffering from a cold, as I do every October, chicken soup has definitely been on my mind. Medical myth or not, there\u2019s more to it that than just a placebo effect. Carnosine actually. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s that thing that helps the body\u2019s immune system fight the early stages of flu and ward off colds. Even if it\u2019s too late, at the very least, a chicken soup<\/a> loaded vegetables contains lots of healthy nutrients, increases hydration and tastes good. <\/p>\n

In looking for a revitalizing alternative, and discarding any belief that the secret may very well be in the broth, I was thinking tasty chicken itself would do the trick. Together with vitamin C loaded lemon and fennel, surely a winner. And a better alternative to the old world German remedy of drinking warm beer to fend off a cold. Yes, they actually do that.<\/p>\n

Lemon Chicken with Fennel and Artichokes – full of goodness<\/h2>\n

As a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier, lemons help neutralize acidity and balance the PH levels in your body. Yes, it true. Despite what common sense tells us, lemons are actually highly alkaline. Loaded with vitamin C as well, lemons really do help our bodies function best. I absolutely love a warm lemon water in the mornings or a steaming mug of hot water, lemon and honey when I am fending off a cold.<\/p>\n

Fennel is also particularly good for colds, especially fennel tea, as it helps ease the symptoms of a cold and reduces bouts of coughing, and even better\u2026inhaling the steam from boiling fennel leaves in hot water helps alleviate bronchitis. Bingo. So with the power of fennel, and all those other wonderfully fresh flavors, surely I\u2019v created something invigorating and splendidly delicious.<\/p>\n

Not only is this lemon chicken really so very easy to make, it also makes great leftovers. Serve with angel hair pasta, couscous or a baguette and a side salad (an arugula or Belgium endive salad<\/a> works wonderfully with these flavors). Enjoy!<\/p>\n
