GREEK ISLAND CHICKEN WITH MARINATED ARTICHOKES



Greek Island Chicken With Marinated Artichokes image

A tasty chicken dish - with a flavoursome blend of herbs, spices, vegetables and honey - which is nonetheless still reasonably low both in calories and in fat. Adapted from Paige Morehouse's recipe which appears in Prevention Healthy Cooking's 'Eat Up, Slim Down: Tried-and-true recipes and tips from real weight-loss winners' by Jane Kirby and David Joachim. Because the recipe contains several vegetables, it really is a stand-alone dish. When I've made it, I've added a bit more garlic (personal preference). The original recipe had 2 cloves of garlic; and I've included more like 8 ounces of mushrooms (again, personal preference). The original recipe had 3 ounces of mushrooms. I've always used kalamata olives when making this dish.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts, skinned
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 ounces mushrooms
1 cup white wine
8 ounces bottled marinated artichoke hearts
1 ounce sun-dried tomato, dry-packed coarsely chopped
1 1/2 ounces Greek olives, pitted, halved
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
4 lemon wedges or 4 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large non-stick pan (which has a lid) over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion has softened.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the juices have reduced.
  • Add the wine, artichokes, tomatoes, olives, lemon-pepper seasoning, honey, salt, oregano, cinnamon and chicken.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breasts registers 70ºC/169ºF and the juices run clear.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese and serve over rice with the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked or canned artichoke hearts.
  • If you're using fresh artichokes, trim and cook them before adding them to the recipe.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil to add richness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that it is juicy and flavorful.
  • Add the artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives to the pan and cook until heated through.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This Greek chicken and artichoke recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, savory artichokes, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes is sure to please everyone at the table.
