If you love artichokes and mushrooms like I do, then this is a must try dish. This dish is made with Chicken chunks that are cooked with mushrooms, artichokes, and tomatoes that bake in a lemon wine sauce. It is delicious. This recipe leaves just enough juice at the end of cooking for serving over rice or pasta,or if your dunker like I am, for a nice crusty piece of Italian bread!
This dish requires a little prep but you could easily start this out the day before if you like and then pop it in the oven the next day for dinner. Leave a good hour for baking in the oven.
Here’s the quick run down:
First wash, dry and clean the fat off the chicken breast. Then cube the chicken, no bigger than 1 1/2″, try and keep same size, season and dredge in a little flour. Season the flour and chicken with a little salt and pepper (or seasoning of your choice).
Saute in a heated pan with olive oil until dry. Remove chicken to a baking dish. The baking dish I used was about 9″x13″.
Slice onion and mushrooms. I use a wet paper towel to clean the mushrooms and remove any dirt. In same pan that chicken cooked in (optional to add little more oil or a pat of butter) and begin to saute onion and mushroom. When lightly brown add the tomatoes (with juice) and artichokes (WITHOUT juice) and saute another few minutes.
NOTE:You can rough chop the artichokes if you like, I leave them whole so picky eaters can easily pick them out.
Remove saute pan from heat and add your water/broth, lemon juice and white wine. Put back on heat and bring to a quick boil then carefully pour over the chicken. Mix the ingredients and then cover with foil. Place in a pre heated oven. After a 1/2 hour you should stir the ingredients and cover again with foil. Place back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes . Then remove the foil and cook uncovered another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Serve with your favorite pasta, rice. Its also great alone with some roasted potatoes or side of your choice.
Enjoy! As always, I really look forward to your comments and feedback!
