Pollo Al Carciofi Chicken With Artichokes Recipes

15-MINUTE CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat and fill a second large saute pan halfway with warm water and set over high heat. Add a very large pinch of salt to the water and cover with a lid.
• Put the flour and a large pinch of salt and pepper into a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper and place them in the bag, then close it tightly and give it a few shakes to coat the chicken completely.
• Pour the olive oil into the hot pan and let it warm up for 30 seconds. Shake excess flour from the cutlets and add them one at a time to the hot oil. Cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. While the chicken is cooking, tear off the leaves from the parsley and roughly chop; reserve. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with a rack and place in the oven to finish cooking while you prepare the rest of the meal.
• At this point, the salted water should be at a full boil. Put the pasta into the water and cook, uncovered, until al dente, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the artichokes and capers to the same pan that the chicken was cooked in and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Stir in the white wine and chicken stock and cook until the liquid is reduced by almost half, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• Drain the cooked pasta and add to a large bowl along with the chopped parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir gently until the butter is melted and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and spoon the artichokes and sauce on top. Serve immediately.

POLLO AL CARCIOFI (CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES) RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim the artichokes and cut them into halves or wedges, about 1-1/2 inches wide; soak them in acidulated water. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Cut it up into 10 or 12 pieces (including the backbone) and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in the big saucepan over medium-high heat and lay in the chicken pieces without crowding-cook them in batches if necessary. Brown the pieces for about 3 minutes, turn and cook another 3 minutes until each is nicely colored on all sides. Remove the pieces to a platter or bowl. When the chicken is all out of the pan, drop the crushed garlic into the hot fat and cook it for a minute or two, until sizzling. Lift the artichoke wedges out of the water and drop them, still damp, into the saucepan. Stir well and season them with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the peperoncino. Cook the artichokes for 4 or 5 minutes, tossing them often and deglazing the browned bits on the pan bottom. When the artichokes are dry and starting to take on color, pour in the wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until it is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and 3 cups of water; slosh the tomato containers with some of the water to rinse them. Cover the pan and bring the liquid to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a steady bubbling and cook the artichokes and sauce for about 15 minutes. Return all the chicken pieces (and any accumulated juices in the platter) to the saucepan, submerging them in the sauce. Cover the pan, get the sauce perking again and cook chicken and artichokes together for about 40 minutes. The chicken should be nearly done, the artichokes tender and the sauce somewhat reduced. Set the cover ajar-or remove it altogether-and continue cooking 15 minutes or more until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and artichoke pieces. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve right away or-for the best flavor-let the chicken cool in the pot and reheat later. If the sauce has thickened, stir in a bit of water. Serve hot from the pan or from a big bowl, if you prefer. Sprinkle over the parsley just before serving.
