Thinly sliced and succulent chicken breast, sauteed with artichokes in a deliciuosly rich lemon, wine and butter sauce.

Provided by Brenda Lanzilli

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 -1 1/4 lb thinly sliced chicken breast
1 (14 ounce) can quartered water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup minced shallot

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
eggwash -one egg beaten with 3 tbs water

Steps:

  • 1.Over medium heat melt 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in large saucepan.
  • 2.You'll need two shallow dishes, one for the eggwash and in the other combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp paprika.
  • 3.Pat THINLY sliced chicken dry (pound them thin, if you can't buy them thin) Dredge the chicken in the flour, shake off excess, and evenly coat in the egg wash. Then place in pan. You'll probably have to work in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
  • 4.Brown the chicken on both sides on med-high heat, about 4 minutes on each side. Repeat steps until all the chicken has been browned and set aside.
  • 5.Turn heat down to medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil to pan. Sautee shallots until translucent, being careful not to burn. Add artichokes and turn the heat up to medium high so that artichokes will get a little crisp to them.
  • 6.Return heat to medium. Push the artichokes and shallots to one side of the pan, leaving an area for you to melt a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of flour together. Whisk together to create a roux which will thicken the sauce.
  • 7.Mix together roux, shallots, and artichokes in pan. Add chicken stock, white wine, lemon juice, ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp pepper, and parsley. Stir to make sure the roux dissolves evenly in the liquid to prevent clumping. Let sauce reduce and flavors connect for about 10 minutes.
  • 8.Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over so that it is completely immersed in the sauce. Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
  • 9.Remove chicken and put on serving platter or plate and pour sauce over top.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ARTICHOKES



Chicken Breasts With Mushrooms and Artichokes image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup hot water
3 whole chicken breasts
1 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons safflower or peanut oil
2 large shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup canned Italian tomatoes, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup of dry white wine
2 pounds baby artichokes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put the mushrooms in a small bowl with the water to cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half and remove any pieces of fat. Pound the breasts flat with a mallet and cut them in half again. Sprinkle with thyme and set aside.
  • Heat the butter and one tablespoon peanut or safflower oil in a large frying pan and lightly brown the chicken pieces on either side, a few at a time, without crowding the pan. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add the shallots and garlic and soften. Drain the mushrooms, pouring their liquid through a sieve lined with paper towel. Reserve the liquid. Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and chop them coarse.
  • Add the mushrooms with their liquid, the tomatoes and the wine to the skillet. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the outer leaves and stalks from the artichoke hearts, making sure you have removed any tough leaves. Cut the tops off, leaving about an inch or so of artichoke. Slice the artichokes in thirds. As you trim them, place the artichokes in a bowl of cold water to which you have added the lemon juice to stop them from turning brown.
  • Heat the remaining peanut or safflower oil and the olive oil in another skillet. Saute the artichokes until golden and drain on paper towels.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the sauce and cook for five to 10 minutes or until they are cooked through. Place in a heated serving dish and sprinkle with the artichokes.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a rotisserie chicken. Simply remove the meat from the bones and shred it.
  • If you don't have artichoke hearts, you can substitute another vegetable, such as asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar.
  • If you want a crispy crust, brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
  • Serve the chicken and artichoke dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken and artichoke is a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. The recipes in this article provide a variety of options, from simple skillet dishes to elegant casseroles.
