Best Sautéed Chicken Paillards With Artichoke Hearts Recipes

CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH ARTICHOKES & DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound into 3/8 inch thickness. Make them thicker if desired, just be certain the breasts are an even thickness for cooking purposes. Season the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken until the outside is golden brown in color and the breast is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Plate the cooked chicken and cover to keep warm. You can also keep it warm in a 200 degree oven.
• In the same pan used to cook the chicken, add the remaining teaspoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth. Cook the shallots until they are translucent but not browned.
• Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of the chicken broth. Add the remaining broth to the pan with the scallions. Add the constarch & broth mix to the pan and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring while the mix thickens.
• Mix in the two mustards and vinegar making sure they are well incorporated. Stir in the tarragon and artichokes. Let the sauce simmer 3 to 5 minutes until the artichokes are warmed through.
• To plate, spoon sauce over warmed paillards.
• Garnish with additional tarragon if desired.

CREAMY LEMON CHICKEN WITH SPINACH AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil to skillet.

• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, and thyme to skillet; cook until fragrant, 10 seconds. Stir in broth and cream cheese; cook until mixture boils and cheese melts. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in artichokes; cook 1 minute more. Return chicken and accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer, shaking pan occasionally, until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly and chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and cheese. Serve over rice.

LEMONY CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Combine the flour and salt on a plate, then gently press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture to coat. Shake off the excess flour. Arrange the chicken in the skillet and cook until browned on each side, about 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, vermouth, garlic, bay leaf, and basil. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Stir in the artichoke hearts, and continue simmering until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes more.
• Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the chicken, and continue cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes.

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and add chicken, skin-side down. Cook, without flipping, until the skin is deeply golden and much of the fat has rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to pour off some of the fat.)
• Using tongs, flip the chicken skin-side up. Let the undersides cook for another 5 or so minutes. Set chicken aside. Add artichoke hearts and onions to the pan, letting them sizzle until they get a little color, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add wine and thyme, shaking skillet to make sure the wine is evenly distributed and scraping up any golden-brown bits. Add chicken back to the pan, over the artichoke hearts and onions. Bring to a simmer and place in the oven until chicken has finished cooking and sauce is reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and scatter with herbs. Finish with more pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sumac, if you have it.

ROMANTIC CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND MUSHROOMS

• Place artichoke hearts and mushrooms in the skillet, and saute until mushrooms are brown and tender. Return chicken to skillet, and pour in reserved artichoke liquid and wine. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Stir in capers, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat; serve immediately.

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST WITH ARTICHOKES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Lay the chicken skinned side down in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish or roasting pan and bake just until firm to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the onion, garlic, thyme to the skillet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the artichokes and peppers and cook until brown as well, about 3 minutes. Add the vermouth and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the vermouth is syrupy, then add the broth and bring the mixture to a full boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the butter and add the parsley. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve.

SKILLET CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a skillet until about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until golden on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes; turn and cook until the other side is golden, 2 to 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; when hot, add the artichoke hearts and red onion and cook, undisturbed, until golden in spots, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
• Return the chicken to the skillet and add the broth and olives. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Top with the parsley, feta, peppers and brine.

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.

• Using the same skillet, cook and stir the garlic and onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour the white wine into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and cook until the wine reduces by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, artichoke hearts, reserved artichoke liquid, and browned chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Stir in the capers and butter.
