This recipe is from Good Housekeeping. It's one of their easy skillet meals. I used canned artichoke hearts like the book suggested, except the can I bought they were already quarted so even less work! This was a very tasty and colorful dish. I used a little more chicken broth for taste and will use less lemon peel or try a bit of lemon juice like the other review suggested. Quick and easy meal! Thanks.

I made this last night for dinner. I did substitute to make it a pasta dish. I did a 1/2 cup chicken broth then added 1/4 cup white wine (using up a little I had left) and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Doubled the cornstarch and added more pepper, more garlic (love garlic) and a few more artichokes. Cooked as directed but at the end added 1 package cooked linguine. It was flavorful and something different from other pasta dishes. Served our family of four for dinner and 2 of us were able to have it for lunch also. Plus it was very little work. Next time I will add a little chopped parsley at the end , just for looks. Thanx for posting!
