Balsamic Chicken With Bulgur Asparagus Artichokes Recipes

BALSAMIC CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 2-inch chunks. On waxed paper, mix pepper, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; use to coat chicken chunks. Cut ham into 2" by 1/4" strips.
• Prepare frozen artichoke hearts as label directs; drain.
• In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot olive or salad oil, cook chicken until golden brown and it just loses its pink color throughout.
• In cup, mix balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water. Stir balsamic-vinegar mixture, ham, artichoke hearts, and frozen peas into skillet; heat to boiling. Spoon mixture onto platter; garnish with parsley sprigs.

CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND LEMON

Steps:

• If using fresh artichokes, fill a large bowl with water. Cut 1 lemon in half then squeeze the juice into the water; add the spent lemon halves to the bowl, too.
• Prepare the artichokes one at a time, rubbing them all over with the spent lemon halves as you cut and expose the inner artichoke heart. First, cut off at least 1 inch of the thorny top. Trim the stem near the heart, leaving about 2 inches of stem if possible, then peel off the outer green fiber of the stem. Using your fingers, tear off the tough outer leaves, then switch to a sharp paring or bird's beak knife, when necessary, to shave more inner artichoke leaves until you reach the tender pale green or yellow leaves and create a bulbous shape. Gently open the leaves and remove the choke using a grapefruit spoon or melon baller, then scrape and tear (or slice) the remaining leaves off so that only the bottom remains. Cut the artichoke heart in quarters; put the quarters in the lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration. Discard the rest of the artichoke, leaves and stem, or reserve for another use.
• Pat chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed until well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and spoon out about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, if desired. (You can discard the excess fat or save for another use.)
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onion, garlic, parsley and saffron. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the onion, then stir to combine.
• Add the broth to deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the pan skin-side up. Arrange the artichokes between the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce is thickened and the artichokes slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the juice from half the remaining lemon, taste, and adjust with salt and more lemon juice if needed. Spoon artichokes and pan sauces over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley to garnish, and serve.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl, place the chicken breasts in the marinade, and marinate for 10 minutes on each side.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken in the heated pan and cook until they start to brown and are no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side. Pour the marinade into the skillet, and cook until it thickens slightly, turning the chicken breasts over once or twice, about 5 minutes.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ASPARAGUS AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of wax paper. Flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Set aside.
• Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Remove scales from the stalks with a knife or vegetable peeler.
• Arrange 1 large or 2 small asparagus spears, one cheese slice, and one sliced mushroom on half of each chicken breast. Top each chicken breast evenly with the chopped artichoke hearts and pimento. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
• Fold the remaining half of each chicken breast over the vegetable mixture; secure with wooden toothpicks. Dredge the chicken in flour; dip in the beaten egg, and coat with the breadcrumbs.
• Combine the butter and oil in a large skillet; cook over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the chicken, and cook 7 to 10 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet; drain on paper towels.
• Place the chicken on a baking sheet. Top each with 1 remaining cheese slice. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the chicken is done.
