Crispy Chicken Stew with Lemon, Artichokes, Capers, and Olives image

We love lemon, artichokes, and olives, so this dish just makes sense to us. We almost always leave the skin on our chicken thighs so we can render out some of the fat and crisp the skin to perfection. If you and your family enjoy Greek flavors as much as we do, then this stew will quickly become a favorite in your household.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
1/2 red onion, peeled, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup capers with brine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine
3 cups Chicken Bone Broth
2 cups canned artichoke hearts
1 cup Kalamata olives
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt, and the dried oregano. Add the chicken thighs and rub the seasoning into the chicken until evenly coated; set aside. You can also cover and refrigerate the chicken thighs and marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the ghee or oil in a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-heat.
  • Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the bowl and, using paper towels, pat the chicken thighs dry. Place the chicken thighs, skin side-down, in the hot ghee or oil, spacing them evenly, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the skin begins to brown. Turn the chicken thighs and brown on the opposite side for 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, capers, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon slices.
  • Add the white wine and deglaze the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, return the thighs to the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the artichoke hearts and olives and continue simmering for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet, pull the meat from the bones, and roughly chop. Add the chicken meat back into the skillet and stir to distribute evenly. To serve, scoop the stew into serving bowls and garnish with the chopped fresh oregano.
  • Do Ahead:
  • The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Artichokes and Olives image

Imbued with the classic Mediterranean flavors of artichokes, garlic, mint and olives, this braised chicken is complex and highly satisfying, with a white wine sauce brightened with lemon. Fresh artichokes have the most pronounced character and meatiest texture, but if you can't get them or don't want to go to the trouble of cleaning them, you can substitute frozen artichoke hearts (you'll need a 9- or 10-once package). Serve this with crusty bread for sauce-mopping.

Categories     one pot, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lemons
3 medium artichokes, about 1 1/2 pounds
3 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup pitted olives, halved (use black, green or a mix)
2 large rosemary branches
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, as needed
Chives or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a large bowl of water. Discard the outer leaves of each artichoke. As you do so, and as you continue cleaning the artichokes, dip them into the lemon water to stop the cut sides from browning. Use a paring knife to peel the base and stems. Slice off the top third of each artichoke. Slice the artichokes in half lengthwise. Using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon, scoop out the hairy chokes inside, pulling out any prickly purple leaves as well. Slice each half into three pieces. Put trimmed artichoke pieces in lemon water until needed.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear in batches until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add artichokes and garlic to pan, adding more oil if needed, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute more.
  • Pour in wine and stir in olives, rosemary branches and grated zest of 1/2 lemon. (Do not discard after zesting.) Return chicken to pan. Bring liquid to a simmer.
  • Cover pan and transfer to oven. Cook until chicken is tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (Check white meat after 25 minutes and remove from oven if done.) Transfer chicken to a plate and place skillet over medium-high heat. Simmer until pan juices thicken and become saucelike, about 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in butter.
  • Return chicken to pan and sprinkle with cheese. Adjust oven heat to broil and place pan in the oven until cheese is melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.) Squeeze juice of remaining lemon half over pan and serve garnished with chives or mint if you like.

CRISPY CHICKEN SKILLET WITH ARTICHOKES, BEETS, LEMON, & OLIVES



Crispy Chicken Skillet with Artichokes, Beets, Lemon, & Olives image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons High temp cooking oil
1 Onion, chopped
7 cloves Garlic, whole
4 pieces Chicken Thighs, bone-in, skin-on
1 Zest from one lemon
1 cup Bone Broth, Chicken
2 heads Beets, Golden
1 can Artichoke Hearts
1/3 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted
1 Fresh Lemon Juice of one lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Heat up a large cast iron skillet over medium to high heat. Melt the lard in the skillet and wait for it to get hot. Once it's heated up, add the onions and garlic to the pan. Allow them to brown a little before adding the chicken.
  • Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper and granulated garlic on all sides. Place the thighs skin down into the hot skillet. Do not fuss with or move the chicken thighs for several minutes. You want a nice crispy crust to form. After about five minutes in the hot pan, check your chicken skins. If they are crispy, you can flip them. If not, continue cooking until they have a nice crispy skin.
  • Once the skins are crispy, and you've flipped your chicken thighs you can add the lemon zest, and the chicken stock to the skillet. Add the chopped up beets, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives to the skillet as well. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, and then transfer the whole skillet into the oven to bake for 30 minutes, or until the juices of the thighs run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
  • After the chicken is done and the veggies are tender, juice a lemon on top of the whole dish and serve!

1/2 red onion, peeled, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. capers with brine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt, and the dried oregano. Add the chicken thighs and rub the seasoning into the chicken until evenly coated; set aside.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Lemon and Olives image

A good cook needs an assortment of chicken dishes to fall back on. Aside from roasting or frying (and in addition to grilling), braising chicken is a simple technique to master. Chicken thighs make the best braises; use skin-on bone-in thighs for the best flavor. Though it could be done on the stovetop, this dish is oven-braised. Here are more recipes using chicken thighs.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in, about 3 1/2 pounds
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
1 tablespoon roughly chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Meyer lemons, cut in wedges
1 cup flavorful olives with pits, a mixture of black and green, about 1 pound
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper and place in an earthenware baking dish in one layer, skin side up. Sprinkle with red pepper, garlic, fennel and rosemary and drizzle with olive oil. Rub seasoning into thighs on all sides. Tuck lemon wedges here and there. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put baking dish in oven, uncovered, and roast until skin browns lightly, about 20 minutes. Scatter olives evenly over chicken and add broth. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour, until meat is very tender when probed with a skewer.
  • Remove thighs and lemon wedges and arrange on a platter. Keep warm. Pour pan juices into a saucepan and quickly skim fat from surface. Over high heat, simmer rapidly until reduced by half. Spoon juices over chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything while cooking.
  • Use a Good Quality Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron or stainless steel skillet will help you achieve a crispy chicken skin and evenly cooked vegetables.
  • Don't Crowd the Skillet: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the Chicken Skin Side Down First: This will help to render the fat and create a crispy skin.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. It should read 165°F (74°C) when it is done.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Add the Lemon Juice and Olives at the End: This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish and prevent the olives from becoming too salty.

Conclusion:

This crispy chicken skillet with artichokes, beets, lemon, and olives is a flavorful and colorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are tender-crisp, and the sauce is bright and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
