15-MINUTE CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH ARTICHOKES



15-Minute Chicken Scaloppini with Artichokes image

This Italian favorite is usually much more time-intensive to prepare, but our version puts the entire meal on your table in 15 minutes flat. Boiling water in a skillet rather than a large pot cuts down prep time dramatically and thin angel hair pasta cooks in only a few minutes. Capers and white wine create an intensely flavorful sauce that makes this quick chicken dinner anything but boring.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 chicken cutlets (about 4 ounces each)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 ounces angel hair pasta
9 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 tablespoons capers in brine
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut in half horizontally and pounded lightly to make 8 scaloppini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 ounces capers, drained
1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon plus 2 lemons, cut into supremes, for garnish (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
  • Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
  • Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Chicken Scallopini image

While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, pressed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
20 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 lemon slices

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
  • Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
  • Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
  • Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.
