Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces dried penne pasta
Olive oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
16 ounces boneless, skinless, chicken breast, pounded thin and cut into strips
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup vermouth, or any other dry white wine
2 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Boil the penne, drain, rinse, and set aside. To prevent the noodles from sticking, spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the butter and also spray with olive oil cooking spray. Add the garlic. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to pan, and saute until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside, covering with foil. Add the vermouth and the juice and zest from 2 lemons. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits and cook over medium-high heat to reduce a bit before adding the broth, flour, and milk and whisk constantly to incorporate the flour. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly and season with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens even more. Return the cooked chicken, along with any reserved juices, to the pan. Add the artichokes and stir gently until the artichokes and chicken are warmed through and the sauce is even thicker. Place the penne on a pretty platter and top with the chicken mixture. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, black pepper, and lemon wedges for an easy and elegant presentation.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

salt
1 lb penne
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 (9 ounce) boxes frozen artichokes, thawed, patted dry and chopped
1 medium onion, minced
8 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
3 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
8 ounces shredded Italian cheese blend (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons lemon lemons, juice of
ground black pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Stir in tablespoon salt and the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain the pasta through a colander and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil; leave in the colander and set aside.
  • Wipe the pot dry, then add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and set it over medium heat until shimmering. Add the artichokes, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until the artichokes are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the broth, wine and cream.
  • Add the chicken breasts and bay leaves, partially cover, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover completely, and cook until the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool; keep the sauce covered. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces. Stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce with the cooked pasta, peas, 1 cup of the cheese, and lemon juice; stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cup cheese.
  • To Store: Wrap the dish tightly with plastic wrap and then foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. (If frozen, the casserole must be thawed completely in the refrigerator, about 24 hours).
  • To Serve: Thaw completely in refrigerator, about 24 hours. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray (or use nonstick foil). Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until hot throughout and browned on top, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle with the tarragon before serving.
  • To Serve Right Away: Bake the casserole in a 400-degree oven, uncovered, until the sauce is bubbling and the top is browned, 25 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with the tarragon before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, use fresh artichokes. If you're using canned artichokes, be sure to rinse and drain them well.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine will add flavor to the sauce. If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water.
  • Be sure to reduce the sauce until it is thick and creamy. This will help the sauce to coat the pasta and vegetables.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Chicken and artichoke penne is best when it is served hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken and artichoke penne is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy white sauce is flavorful and rich, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken and artichokes. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
