A centerpiece dish that will steal the gold medal. Complex flavors melded together with a deliciously crisp chicken, and it only took 45 minutes to come together!
DIRECTIONS
CRISPY CHICKEN FILLETS:
1. Preheat your oven to 350F
2. Place a large fry pan onto medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the chicken fillets into the pan skin side down, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Fry the chicken fillets until crispy and golden on the skin side. Turn over the fillets and cook for a further 2 minutes, then sprinkle again with salt and pepper.
4. Remove the chicken from the fry pan and place into a baking tray. Place the chicken into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
BRAISED ARTICHOKES & WHITE BEANS
1. Using the same fry pan, add the butter, thyme, bay leaves, and rosemary, and stir until the butter is melted. Add the garlic and sauté on low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the Reese Marinated Artichoke Hearts, the white beans, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Now add the chicken stock, and stir to combine. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
4. Once the beans are cooked, place them into a serving plate, top with the baked chicken, some extra thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
5. Serve with the salsa verde (method below), a crispy green salad or sauteed greens, and fresh crusty bread.
PARSLEY & ROSEMARY SALSA VERDE
