seared lemon chicken with potato and artichoke

this is adapted from cook's illustrated and a magazine article about healthy dishes.

cook's says to have a perfect seared chicken, bake chicken breasts in a tightly covered dishe for 30 to 45 minutes at 275.

so i did.

then you whisk together (for 2 breasts):

1 T melted butter
1/2 T flour
1/2 t cornstarch
ground pepper
and i added some italian seasoning

after the chicken is cooked, blot it and brush it with the mixture. Heat 1 T olive oit to smoking and sear, 3 min per side, in a pan you've already (here's the other recipe) browned 1 small chopped onion in 1 T olive oil, that has been set aside.

so when the chicken is cooked on one side, add 1 small red potato that has been cut in slices. turn the chicken over, and add 1 can of quartered artichokes, the cooked onion, and one lemon sliced thinly. cover. cook ten minutes. add grated parmesan to the chicken.

the lemon flavor is fab.
