This artichoke chicken recipe combines juicy bone-in chicken with briny marinated artichoke hearts, dried herbs, and garlic. It's an easy chicken dinner, ready in under an hour.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pounds chicken drumsticks
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons dried oregano
- 14.75 ounces jar of marinated artichoke hearts
- 1 large yellow onion cut into thicker slices
- 2 tablespoons brown mustard
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the chicken. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Assemble. Transfer the chicken to a 9x13 baking dish. Scatter the onion slices all around the chicken. Remove the artichoke hearts from the marinade inside the jar; do not discard the marinade. Arrange the artichoke hearts over the chicken and set aside.
- Add the marinade. Add brown mustard and minced garlic to the marinade; whisk until completely incorporated. Pour the marinade over the chicken.
- Bake. Bake for 45 minutes or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 165˚F.
- Serve. Remove the artichoke chicken from the oven and let it rest for several minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chicken Selection: Use any cut of chicken, but adjust cooking times accordingly. Chicken breasts cook quicker than, say, drumsticks or bone-in chicken thighs.
- Marinate: For more flavor, marinate the chicken in the artichoke marinade for a few hours or overnight.
- Herbs: Additional dried herbs like thyme or rosemary enhance the flavor.
- Veggies: Add chopped bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
- Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
- Rest: For juicier chicken, allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days and reheat as needed.
