GREEK CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Another recipe I made when I was learning to cook and trying to impress the boyfriend who is now my DH! I really like this dish a lot, and add lots more lemon, pepper, garlic, and oregano, but that's my taste! I've also added parboiled, quartered potatoes at the start, and really like the artichoke hearts and potatoes together. Adapted from Betty Croker's New International Cookbook.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you love. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, but you can use any marinade that you like.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't dry out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it's more likely to burn on the outside before it's cooked through on the inside.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of fry and it won't get as crispy.
- Use fresh artichoke hearts: Fresh artichoke hearts are the best option for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned artichoke hearts if you don't have any fresh ones on hand.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This Greek chicken with artichoke hearts is a delicious main course that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This Greek chicken with artichoke hearts is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful marinade and then cooked over medium heat until it's cooked through. The artichoke hearts add a delicious briny flavor to the dish, and the lemon-herb sauce ties everything together perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
