CRISPY CHICKEN STEW WITH LEMON, ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, AND OLIVES



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.

Provided by Katherine & Ryan Harvey

Categories     HarperCollins     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Artichoke     Olive     Kid-Friendly     Healthy     Small Plates

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.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES, CAPERS AND ARUGULA



Lemon Chicken with Artichokes, Capers and Arugula image

If there were an award for "most elegant, tastiest skillet meal made in less than 30 minutes" (and I think there should be), this dish would be the clear winner. With tender chicken breast in a lemony caper and white wine sauce that's studded with artichokes served atop a mound of fresh arugula, it is beautiful on the plate, packed with flavor, and requires almost no chopping. The chicken is coated lightly in flour, which allows it to brown nicely and serves to thicken the pan sauce. (You can substitute a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour.) A tablespoon of butter takes the tangy sauce to the next level into luxuriously velvety territory. It's just the recipe to hit refresh on your busy weeknight dinner routine and definitely good enough for company. I like to serve it with some crusty whole-grain Italian bread.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
6 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups lightly packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Place the flour on a plate and toss it with the salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so it is lightly coated, shaking off the excess. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place two pieces of chicken in the pan and cook until they are browned, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer them to a plate. Repeat with another 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and the remaining chicken, transferring it to the plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, lower the heat to medium, then add the garlic and artichoke hearts and cook until the garlic has softened a bit, 1 minute. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and reduce by about half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet, bring to a boil, then cook until the sauce has thickened somewhat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter until it is melted.
  • Return the chicken, with any accumulated juices, to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • To serve, place a cup of the arugula on each of four serving plates. Top each with a chicken breast and spoon the sauce and artichokes on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

A rich chicken dish, perfect for a special meal.

Provided by ALISSASMOM

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
  • Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
  • To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

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.

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     dinner, one pot, poultry, vegetables, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients significantly impacts the taste of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
  • Seasoning is Key: Don't be afraid to season your dish generously. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also experiment with herbs, spices, and citrus zest for added flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can quickly become dry if overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, ensure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be of good quality. A dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, works well.
  • Reduce the Sauce: Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to reduce and concentrate the flavors. This will create a rich and flavorful sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables perfectly.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. This will add a final touch of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Lemon Chicken with Artichokes and Capers is a delicious and versatile dish perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, savory artichokes, tangy capers, and a flavorful lemon-wine sauce creates a delightful symphony of flavors. Whether you're cooking for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish will surely impress your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy yet impressive meal, give this recipe a try - you won't regret it!
