Add the artichokes and simmer sauce for about 10 minutes. If the sauce needs thickening, mix 1 T cornstarch with water adding slowly to sauce and stir until thick. Remove skillet from heat and add 2 T butter. Swirl to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste. More lemon juice, chicken broth or wine may need to be added.
