PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH GRILLED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the garlic and juice of 1 1/2 of the lemons in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to mellow the garlic flavor. Whisk in the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half into the boiling water and add the rind to the water. Add the artichokes and cook until the centers are tender when pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. Shock the artichokes in the ice bath, remove from the water and pat dry.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the artichokes with about 1/4 cup of the dressing. Place the artichokes on the grill pan and cook until grill-marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Set up 3 shallow bowls or baking dishes. In one, mix together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In the next one, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup water and some salt and pepper. In the last one, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Coat each chicken piece with the flour mixture first, shaking off any excess flour. Next, dip into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Lastly, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat. Place on a baking sheet fitted with a rack.
• In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add 3 or 4 chicken pieces and cook each side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a clean baking sheet fitted with a rack and hold in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken.
• To serve, toss the watercress with the remaining dressing. Place each chicken piece on a plate, arrange some of the artichokes around the chicken, top with some of the watercress and serve.

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.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES, TOMATOES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place about two-thirds of the artichokes in a food processor with the garlic, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Process until smooth, stopping as necessary to scrape the sides of the bowl.
• Carefully loosen the skin over the breast from the meat, forming 2 pouches. Stuff the pouches with the artichoke mixture. Rub the skin with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fill the cavity with the lemon, the rosemary and the remaining artichoke hearts. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 35 minutes, running a spatula under the chicken once or twice to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
• Combine the tomato, roasted pepper and cayenne and spoon the mixture over the chicken. Continue roasting until the juices run clear when pricked in the thickest part of the thigh, about 35 minutes longer, basting every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before carvings. Carve and divide among 4 plates, serving a little of the artichoke puree with each serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• 1. Drain marinade from artichoke hearts; cover and refrigerate artichokes. Mix marinade and wine in shallow glass or plastic dish. Add chicken and bell pepper, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes but no longer than 24 hours. 2. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. 3. Remove chicken and peppers from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill chicken 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 5 minutes. Turn chicken; add peppers to grill. Cover and grill 10 to 15 minutes longer or until peppers are tender and juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. 4. Strain marinade. Heat marinade, artichoke hearts, onions and pepper to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve artichoke sauce with chicken and peppers.

GRILLED GARLIC CHICKEN WITH BELL PEPPERS

• Whisk dressing, rosemary and garlic to blend in large bowl. Add chicken and all bell peppers and toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour or cover and chill up to 1 day, tossing occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Drain marinade and discard. Grill or broil chicken and bell pepper until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Mound rice in center of platter. Arrange chicken and peppers decoratively around rice and serve.

ARTICHOKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic pepper. Place chicken in a greased baking dish, and cover evenly with artichoke mixture.
• Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear.

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.

GRILLED GARLIC ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.
