CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND LEMON



Chicken With Artichokes and Lemon image

If you like artichokes as much as I do, this recipe, often made at Passover by Jews from Morocco, is for you. You can use fresh or frozen artichokes, though trimming fresh artichokes is worth the effort for their delicate texture. To save waste, boil the trimmed artichoke leaves about 15 minutes until tender in water with a lemon, then enjoy them for lunch, dipping them into an easy sauce of yogurt spiked with a spoonful of Dijon mustard. Easily made in a frying pan, this tagine goes well with couscous, or a quinoa or bulgur pilaf, though that might depend on your Passover traditions, and Moroccan Jews do not allow rice or couscous. The dish can easily be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated or even frozen.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large lemons
8 fresh globe artichokes (or 8 frozen artichoke bottoms, quartered, or about 1 1/2 cups frozen artichoke hearts)
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more to garnish
1/2 teaspoon saffron
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • If using fresh artichokes, fill a large bowl with water. Cut 1 lemon in half then squeeze the juice into the water; add the spent lemon halves to the bowl, too.
  • Prepare the artichokes one at a time, rubbing them all over with the spent lemon halves as you cut and expose the inner artichoke heart. First, cut off at least 1 inch of the thorny top. Trim the stem near the heart, leaving about 2 inches of stem if possible, then peel off the outer green fiber of the stem. Using your fingers, tear off the tough outer leaves, then switch to a sharp paring or bird's beak knife, when necessary, to shave more inner artichoke leaves until you reach the tender pale green or yellow leaves and create a bulbous shape. Gently open the leaves and remove the choke using a grapefruit spoon or melon baller, then scrape and tear (or slice) the remaining leaves off so that only the bottom remains. Cut the artichoke heart in quarters; put the quarters in the lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration. Discard the rest of the artichoke, leaves and stem, or reserve for another use.
  • Pat chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed until well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and spoon out about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, if desired. (You can discard the excess fat or save for another use.)
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onion, garlic, parsley and saffron. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the onion, then stir to combine.
  • Add the broth to deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the pan skin-side up. Arrange the artichokes between the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce is thickened and the artichokes slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the juice from half the remaining lemon, taste, and adjust with salt and more lemon juice if needed. Spoon artichokes and pan sauces over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley to garnish, and serve.

Creamy Lemon Chicken with Spinach and Artichokes image

Like your favorite dip reinvented as a meal, and made healthier to boot! Sauteed chicken cutlets cook fast, and cream cheese provides a little richness with less fat than heavy cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound chicken cutlets
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
10 ounces baby spinach (7 cups)
1 package (9 ounces) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, quartered if whole
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/2 cup packed)
Steamed rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. When butter melts, add chicken in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown in places but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, and thyme to skillet; cook until fragrant, 10 seconds. Stir in broth and cream cheese; cook until mixture boils and cheese melts. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in artichokes; cook 1 minute more. Return chicken and accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer, shaking pan occasionally, until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly and chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and cheese. Serve over rice.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES, CAPERS AND ARUGULA



Lemon Chicken with Artichokes, Capers and Arugula image

If there were an award for "most elegant, tastiest skillet meal made in less than 30 minutes" (and I think there should be), this dish would be the clear winner. With tender chicken breast in a lemony caper and white wine sauce that's studded with artichokes served atop a mound of fresh arugula, it is beautiful on the plate, packed with flavor, and requires almost no chopping. The chicken is coated lightly in flour, which allows it to brown nicely and serves to thicken the pan sauce. (You can substitute a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour.) A tablespoon of butter takes the tangy sauce to the next level into luxuriously velvety territory. It's just the recipe to hit refresh on your busy weeknight dinner routine and definitely good enough for company. I like to serve it with some crusty whole-grain Italian bread.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
6 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups lightly packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Place the flour on a plate and toss it with the salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so it is lightly coated, shaking off the excess. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place two pieces of chicken in the pan and cook until they are browned, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer them to a plate. Repeat with another 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and the remaining chicken, transferring it to the plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, lower the heat to medium, then add the garlic and artichoke hearts and cook until the garlic has softened a bit, 1 minute. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and reduce by about half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet, bring to a boil, then cook until the sauce has thickened somewhat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter until it is melted.
  • Return the chicken, with any accumulated juices, to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • To serve, place a cup of the arugula on each of four serving plates. Top each with a chicken breast and spoon the sauce and artichokes on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES, OLIVES, AND LEMON



Braised Chicken With Artichokes, Olives, and Lemon image

The flavors of the Mediterranean spruce up this homey, braised chicken dish served over a bed of orzo.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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. Partially cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove lid; continue simmering until sauce thickens slightly. Serve over orzo, sprinkled with oregano leaves.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meat and seafood.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to use salt and pepper to season your food. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to dilute it with water.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken with artichokes and lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the artichokes are soft and flavorful, and the lemon sauce is bright and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
