SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND HERBS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Artichokes and Herbs image

This weeknight sheet-pan dinner takes inspiration from porchetta, the classic Italian pork roast that's scented with fennel and herbs. Here, a fragrant spice rub of ground fennel, garlic, rosemary and sage is placed onto chicken thighs, instantly elevating plain chicken with minimal effort. Canned artichokes are a versatile and time-saving pantry staple, commonly tossed into salads but here, they are fantastic roasted. The juicy chicken thighs create a bright pan sauce mixed with briny olives and lemon juice. Leftovers can be chopped and tossed with mayonnaise for a fantastic chicken salad the next day.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     dinner, poultry, roasts, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large fennel bulbs (about 3 pounds), trimmed, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
2 (14-ounce) cans whole artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ground fennel
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine fennel wedges, artichokes, tomatoes and 3 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Spread in an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, ground fennel, rosemary, sage and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper, then rub with spice mixture. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables skin-side up.
  • Roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is golden and crisp and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Pour pan juices into a small bowl, let settle and then skim off the fat with a spoon. Stir in olives, lemon juice and red-pepper flakes (if using). Spoon sauce over chicken and vegetables. Serve warm.

WARM ARTICHOKE & ASPARAGUS SUMMER SALAD



Warm artichoke & asparagus summer salad image

This dish is all about vegetables at the peak of their season

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 artichokes , trimmed
2 lemons , halved
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 star anise
large thyme sprig
4 tbsp white wine vinegar
large bunch (about 30) asparagus spears
4 handfuls small salad leaves such as micro-leaves
5 tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion , finely chopped
2 spring onions , finely sliced
small bunch chives , finely snipped
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (I like to use white balsamic vinegar)

Steps:

  • When the artichokes are trimmed, find a pan wide enough to hold them in a single layer. Squeeze in juice from a lemon half and half-fill with cold water. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, the spices, thyme, vinegar, artichokes and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 15 mins until soft. Turn off the heat and allow to cool (see tips, below).
  • Prepare the asparagus. First, cut off the woody ends, then use a swivel blade peeler to trim the ends, rotating them as you go so they end up the same thickness as the tips.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the asparagus for 2 mins, then drain and tip straight into heavily iced water. Leave until completely cool, drain again, then set aside.
  • To make the dressing, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan , then gently cook the red onion for 5 mins until soft. Turn off the heat stir in the spring onion and chives, then tip into a jug. Drizzle the rest of the oil and the vinegar into the dressing, then season to taste.
  • Get the vegetables ready. Drain the artichokes, then cut each into 6 wedges. Slice each asparagus on the angle into 3 pieces.
  • Wipe out the dressing pan and heat the remaining olive oil. Fry the asparagus with some seasoning until shiny and starting to colour, then scoop onto a plate. Place the pan back on the heat, then cook the artichoke wedges until they start to brown. Turn off the heat and you are ready to plate up.
  • Spoon a puddle of dressing into the centre of each plate. Balance the pieces of asparagus up against each other to circle the dressing. Arrange the artichokes among the asparagus so they're evenly distributed over the plate. Scatter over the salad leaves and drizzle over the remaining dressing.
