Chicken, Artichoke and Fennel Pasta

From Heather's site at http://www.helpforibs.com/:

This fast and easy chicken dinner comes together in a matter of minutes. It has a high soluble fiber base from orzo (a rice shaped pasta), which provides digestive stability. The chicken is are quickly sauteed and topped with a zesty dressing that has just a bit of heart-healthy olive oil, so the fat content is low but the flavor level sky high. Freshly ground fennel adds even more flavor and, as a bonus, is a terrific digestive aid.

4 Servings

Dressing:
4 T olive oil
4 T fresh lemon juice
2 T honey
2 t garlic, minced
1/2 t dried thyme
1 t whole fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 t salt
1/2 t red pepper flakes (optional)

Combine all dressing ingredients and set aside.

4 skinless deboned chicken breasts
1 13.75-oz. can artichoke hearts
1 lemon, peeled, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh parsley
Cooked orzo or rice

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper as desired. Saute in a large nonstick pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides, 3-5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook 5 minutes. Add drained, halved artichokes and dressing. Simmer uncovered and reduce sauce for about 3 minutes. Top chicken with slices of lemon; cook 2 minutes or until dressing thickens. Top with parsley and serve over cooked orzo or rice.
