Weight Watcher's Chicken Piccatta (with point ratings)

CHICKEN PICCATTA
12 oz chicken breasts
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4cup lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/3 cup capers
1 can artichoke hearts (packed in water, not oil)
1 package sliced mushrooms
Coat chicken with flour. In a large skillet, cook garlic and oil over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until garlic is pale gold. Add chicken and brown 2-3 minutes on each side. Add lemon juice, artichokes, capers and mushrooms. Simmer, covered, for about 30-35 minutes. Turn and baste the chicken occasionally. Cook until chicken juices run clear.
4 servings, 5 POINTS each
If you have never tried capers (I hadn't), this is a great way to start. They add a nice spiciness to the sauce. DH loves this dish!
This recipe comes from the old Week 9 WW Recipe Card, with a few additional suggestions.
