One Pan Dinner Party: Chicken with Artichokes & Tomatoes

artichoke chicken

Here is a simple one pan meal that can be made ahead and is so delish.

Mel from bitchencamero made an artichoke chicken dish much like mine.
Since I hadn't made it in forever, I decided to make it for a recent dinner party, because it was an easy main dish, and I could concentrate on the appetizers and sides.

It's almost like a stew, you can serve it over polenta, or with hunks of good Italian bread to mop of the sauce.

It's perfect at room temperature and can be made well in advance.

Artichoke Chicken in a Skillet:

10 piece package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cans of artichokes in water, drained and halved
2 14 oz. cans of fire roasted tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 onions, thinly sliced
handful of capers
handful of kalamata olives, chopped
dash of hot pepper flakes
kosher salt and pepper
fresh parsley for garnish


Season your chicken thighs with kosher salt and pepper and brown them 4 minutes per side in a heavy skillet w/ olive oil.

To the skillet, add garlic and onions, cook another minute or two, until vegetables are starting to soften.



Next, add your tomatoes, artichoke halves, capers & olives.
Turn heat down to low and simmer 20 minutes until chicken is cooked and sauce starts to thicken.



Serve in bowls and garnish with more capers, if desired.
Enjoy!

Hi Stacey - I wanted to say hello -and also ask your permission to use your fresh fig photo for a day or two (I wanted to get my Fig Fest post online, but my camera died at the market the other day...). I am a Teaneck(NJ)native who now lives in Paris. I'm a journalist by trade, just finished a book on food and love in Paris that's coming out in Feb 2010. Your Paris photos are terrific. Looks like you had a wonderful trip. Check out the blog at www.elizabethbard.blogspot.com
I have four bags of frozen artichokes from TJ's in my freezer, this is a great way to use them up!

Your blog is wonderful. I made this recipe the day you posted it for an impromptu dinner with my friends. We really enjoyed it. We put it over rice and it was delicious.
