Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces and patted dry
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
9 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and halved
6 ounces green olives, such as Castelvetrano (1 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus leaves for serving
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 small lemon, sliced into paper-thin rounds
Cooked orzo, for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add oil, then chicken, skin-side down, in a single layer. Cook, turning, until browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and artichokes; cook until golden brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add olives, oregano, and flour; cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in broth and lemon, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Return chicken, skinside up, and any juices to pan; bring to a simmer.

Remove lid; continue simmering until sauce thickens slightly. Serve over orzo, sprinkled with oregano leaves.

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS



Wine-Braised Chicken With Artichoke Hearts image

Artichokes become weeknight friendly when they come from a can or a jar. Be sure to buy the unmarinated ones here. The gentle braise in rendered chicken fat and tangy white wine, mixed with onions and herbs, provides all the flavor the artichokes need.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, or a mix of legs and thighs (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and halved lengthwise
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 1/4 cup dry white wine
A few sprigs of thyme, oregano or marjoram
1 cup mint, parsley or dill leaves
Sumac, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and add chicken, skin-side down. Cook, without flipping, until the skin is deeply golden and much of the fat has rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to pour off some of the fat.)
  • Using tongs, flip the chicken skin-side up. Let the undersides cook for another 5 or so minutes. Set chicken aside. Add artichoke hearts and onions to the pan, letting them sizzle until they get a little color, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add wine and thyme, shaking skillet to make sure the wine is evenly distributed and scraping up any golden-brown bits. Add chicken back to the pan, over the artichoke hearts and onions. Bring to a simmer and place in the oven until chicken has finished cooking and sauce is reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from oven and scatter with herbs. Finish with more pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sumac, if you have it.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and golden-brown chicken, ensure that the pan is hot before adding the chicken pieces. Sear them for a few minutes on each side until they develop a nice color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with chicken pieces. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth for the braising liquid. You can also add some white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
  • Don't boil the braising liquid. Simmer it gently over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the artichoke hearts, lemon, cherry peppers, and thyme towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and losing their flavor.
  • Serve the braised chicken and artichoke hearts immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This braised chicken and artichoke hearts recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the artichoke hearts add a nice touch of acidity and texture. The lemon, cherry peppers, and thyme add a bright and herbaceous flavor to the dish. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
