Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

One 4- to 4 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 10 pieces
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces through the stem
2 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
2 medium leeks, white part only, sliced into 1 1/2-inch rounds and rinsed
One 14-ounce can whole artichoke hearts in water, drained
5 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or stock
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the chicken on both sides, skin-side down first, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the shallots, garlic, leeks, artichoke hearts and 3 tablespoons of the oregano; cook just until softened, 5 minutes. Add the browned chicken, skin-side up, back to the pan and then add the butter, wine and chicken broth. Top with the lemon slices and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons oregano to serve.

LEMON AND OREGANO POUNDED CHICKEN

Categories main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 teaspoons lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

In a large resealable plastic bag, add the lemon zest and juice, oregano, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Massage the bag to combine the ingredients. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag and massage the marinade evenly into the chicken. Lay the bag flat with the chicken breasts all flat in the bag and let the air out of the bag. Using a small skillet, flat mallet or even the heel of your hand, pound the chicken to flatten slightly. It should be 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 10 hours.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the chicken, smooth side down, and place something heavy on top of the chicken (a brick wrapped in aluminum foil or small cast-iron skillet works well here). Cook until deep golden brown on the first side, about 5 minutes. Remove the weight and flip the chicken. Continue to cook on the second side until it is firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a plate to rest. Add 1/3 cup of water to the skillet to deglaze. Pour the juices over the rested chicken to serve.
