CHICKEN LIMONE WITH ARTICHOKES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• If you are cutting the chicken yourself make sure it is very cold and you have a sharp knife. Cut three -four cutlets per breast. Salt & pepper each cutlet before lightly dredging into flour. (Only salt, pepper and dredge as many chicken cutlets you can sauté at one time in a large frying pan. Heat a little oil in pan before adding chicken. Add chicken cutlets all at once. Cook on medium heat 2 minutes per side and refrain from color on chicken. Add oil a little at a time to pan. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Repeat with all cutlets until all chicken is cooked. Once cutlets are finished add a little more oil to pan and cook onions and garlic only until they sweat. Once again no color. Deglaze with white wine at this time. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, 3/4 of zest & all of the thyme just until sauce starts to thicken. Add back chicken cutlets including any drippings in dish where chicken was holding. On low heat let the chicken continue cooking in the sauté pan for 10 - 12 minutes until hot. Make sure the chicken is covered by sauce and rotate pieces continuously. Plate the chicken in the center of a platter. At this time add capers and artichokes to the remaining sauce. Heat through. Place the artichokes and capers around the chicken on the platter. Drizzle chicken with sauce. Garnish with remaining zest and fresh cut parsley.

• 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.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES, CAPERS AND 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.
