Creating Chicken with Lemon Butter, Spinach, and Artichokes is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
