CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES



Chicken with Artichokes image

The flavors of Provence come together in this simple chicken dish. Use artichokes packed in water and sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Boneless, skinless chicken breast half (6 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained, and slivered
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup artichoke hearts packed in water, drained, rinsed, and halved
2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Israeli couscous (optional)

Steps:

  • Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. With the flat side of a meat mallet or a small skillet, pound to a 1/2-inch thickness. To soften noise, place chicken in plastic on a folded kitchen towel when pounding.
  • In a medium skillet, heat 3 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Saute until golden brown and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove.
  • To pan, add garlic, white part of the scallions, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Add artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and remaining teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook until artichokes are heated through and sauce has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Spoon mixture over chicken.
  • To make couscous, if desired: Bring a small pot of salted water to boil; add couscous. Boil until couscous is tender but still pleasantly chewy, about 10 minutes. Drain, toss with scallion greens, and serve alongside chicken.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make the sauce creamier, blend it with an immersion blender or in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • If you don't have artichoke hearts, you can substitute cooked broccoli or cauliflower.
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or roasted potatoes.

Conclusion:

This creamy chicken and artichokes dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken and artichokes are tender and juicy. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
