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)

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 thin-cut chicken breasts (chicken cutlets)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Two 8-ounce jars quartered artichokes, drained
3/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan
One 4-ounce jar diced pimientos, drained
3 cups baby spinach
1/2 lemon, juiced
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Warm bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and stir until slightly softened, about 30 seconds, then add the artichokes and cook, stirring, until the artichokes are hot and the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Add the pimientos, spinach and lemon juice, then stir until the spinach has wilted, for a minute or so. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, spooning a little sauce over the top. Garnish with torn basil leaves and serve with warm bread.

CREAMY SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CHICKEN STEW



Creamy Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Stew image

This creamy chicken stew is spinach-artichoke dip reimagined as a simple stovetop braise. It comes together quickly, thanks to frozen spinach and jarred artichoke hearts, though if you have time, there is also a slow-cooker version of this recipe. Fresh dill and scallions are added just before serving, and provide bright, herbal flavor that offsets the richness of the finished dish.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 celery stalks, chopped
8 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup white wine
2 to 2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (10-ounce) package frozen cut spinach
1 (12-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained (about 1 heaping cup artichoke hearts)
1/2 cup cream cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh dill
4 to 6 scallions, thinly sliced, for topping
Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid scorching. Stir in the garlic.
  • Pour in the stock and wine, and bring to a bubble. Add the chicken thighs, lemon juice and red-pepper flakes; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Add the frozen spinach and the artichoke hearts to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring to help the spinach defrost and wilt into the stew. When the spinach is warm and evenly distributed, reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the cream cheese in dollops, stirring to melt it into the soup. Add the dill. Using two forks, coarsely break or shred the chicken into large chunks. Taste and add more salt and black pepper if necessary.
  • Divide the stew among bowls, and top with scallions and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients: Before starting cooking, measure and chop all ingredients to ensure smooth and efficient cooking.
  • Thawing Spinach: If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely before adding it to the skillet. This prevents excess water from diluting the sauce.
  • Searing Chicken: Sear the chicken pieces in a hot skillet until golden brown. This locks in flavor and creates a delicious crust.
  • Seasoning: Use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to season the chicken and vegetables. Adjust seasonings to your taste preference.
  • Creamy Sauce: To achieve a smooth and creamy sauce, whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling broth until it thickens. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Adding Spinach and Artichokes: Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the thawed spinach and drained artichoke hearts. Cook until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
  • Serving: Serve the creamy spinach and artichoke chicken skillet immediately over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

The creamy spinach and artichoke chicken skillet is a delectable and versatile dish that combines tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and a creamy sauce.
