CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND LEMON



Chicken With Artichokes and Lemon image

If you like artichokes as much as I do, this recipe, often made at Passover by Jews from Morocco, is for you. You can use fresh or frozen artichokes, though trimming fresh artichokes is worth the effort for their delicate texture. To save waste, boil the trimmed artichoke leaves about 15 minutes until tender in water with a lemon, then enjoy them for lunch, dipping them into an easy sauce of yogurt spiked with a spoonful of Dijon mustard. Easily made in a frying pan, this tagine goes well with couscous, or a quinoa or bulgur pilaf, though that might depend on your Passover traditions, and Moroccan Jews do not allow rice or couscous. The dish can easily be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated or even frozen.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large lemons
8 fresh globe artichokes (or 8 frozen artichoke bottoms, quartered, or about 1 1/2 cups frozen artichoke hearts)
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more to garnish
1/2 teaspoon saffron
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • If using fresh artichokes, fill a large bowl with water. Cut 1 lemon in half then squeeze the juice into the water; add the spent lemon halves to the bowl, too.
  • Prepare the artichokes one at a time, rubbing them all over with the spent lemon halves as you cut and expose the inner artichoke heart. First, cut off at least 1 inch of the thorny top. Trim the stem near the heart, leaving about 2 inches of stem if possible, then peel off the outer green fiber of the stem. Using your fingers, tear off the tough outer leaves, then switch to a sharp paring or bird's beak knife, when necessary, to shave more inner artichoke leaves until you reach the tender pale green or yellow leaves and create a bulbous shape. Gently open the leaves and remove the choke using a grapefruit spoon or melon baller, then scrape and tear (or slice) the remaining leaves off so that only the bottom remains. Cut the artichoke heart in quarters; put the quarters in the lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration. Discard the rest of the artichoke, leaves and stem, or reserve for another use.
  • Pat chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed until well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and spoon out about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, if desired. (You can discard the excess fat or save for another use.)
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onion, garlic, parsley and saffron. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the onion, then stir to combine.
  • Add the broth to deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the pan skin-side up. Arrange the artichokes between the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce is thickened and the artichokes slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the juice from half the remaining lemon, taste, and adjust with salt and more lemon juice if needed. Spoon artichokes and pan sauces over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley to garnish, and serve.

CRISPY CHICKEN STEW WITH LEMON, ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, AND OLIVES RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Crispy Chicken Stew with Lemon, Artichokes, Capers, and Olives Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Dr_Mom

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tbl granulated garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp dried oregano
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tbls ghee or olive oil
1/2 red onion, peeled, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. capers with brine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 c. white wine
3 c. Chicken Bone Broth (N.B. Chicken broth will do in a pinch but bone broth has a more earthy flavor)
2 c. canned artichoke hearts
1 c. Kalamata olives
1 1/2 tsp 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 (Note, I leave the thighs whole as in the picture). 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.

SLOW COOKER SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CHICKEN STEW



Slow Cooker Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Stew image

This creamy braised chicken stew is inspired by spinach-artichoke dip. It is comfort food to be sure, but white wine, marinated artichokes and fresh dill keep it from veering too rich. Serve it with pita or tortilla chips if you'd like to keep with the theme. If you don't have time to sauté the vegetables, skip to Step 2, and add the butter, onion, celery and garlic, directly to the slow cooker. You can also prepare a stovetop version of this recipe in just under one hour.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 4h30m

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 to 2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
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 (12-inch) skillet 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 garlic and stir until softened and fragrant, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid scorching, about 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the chicken thighs, stock, wine and lemon juice to the slow cooker. Season with the red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper; mix well to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. At this point, the dish can hold on the warm setting for several hours.
  • About 20 minutes before you are ready to eat, add the frozen spinach and the artichoke hearts to the slow cooker. Cook on low until the spinach is hot and can be stirred into the stew. (For spinach that comes frozen in a block, this can take 15 to 20 minutes; frozen cut spinach in a bag takes less time to defrost and cook.)
  • Add the cream cheese and dill, and stir until the cream cheese melts.
  • Using the back of a spoon, press the chicken against the side of the pot to break it up into pieces. Taste and add more salt and black pepper, if necessary. Divide the stew among bowls and top with scallions and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients so they are ready to use.
  • Sear the chicken: Searing the chicken adds flavor and color to the stew. Make sure the chicken is browned on all sides before adding it to the pot.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for artichokes, carrots, and celery, but you can add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, zucchini, or green beans.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the stew, so make sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This lemon and artichoke chicken stew is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
