Chicken with artichokes and tomatoes
Deeply browned chicken thigh meat is accompanied by salty ham, richly flavored artichokes, and sweet carrots and onions in this phenomenal weeknight dinner whose sophistication belies its simplicity. The wine, canned chopped tomatoes, and a delicate zest of lemon bring it all together for a satisfying meal that works equally well on its own, or served over hearty noodles.
Pro tip: Using the residual chicken fat in the pan along with the prosciutto to cook the artichokes really adds to their savory richness.
Made with Chopped tomatoes
The Mutti Chopped Tomatoes maintains all the freshness of freshly-harvested tomatoes. It’s a unique product because it is chopped especially finely for an abundance of tomato pieces in every bite and a rich, consistent texture. Mutti Polpa brings together the tomato juice and its most pulpy part, a feature which makes it ideally suited for long cooking times even at high temperatures, like in the oven. Alternatively, it captures the fresh flavour of perfectly ripe tomatoes so well that it can be used straight from the tin in dishes like bruschetta or salsas. It is also ideal for homemade pizza, for recipes with meat, vegetables and legumes and to dress fresh durum wheat pasta or egg pasta

Chicken with artichokes and tomatoes: Method
- Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken to skillet, skin side down. Cook 5-6 minutes or until skin is golden brown and crispy. Turn, cook 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet.
- Add prosciutto and artichokes to same skillet and cook until artichokes and prosciutto are lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Add carrots, onion, and thyme; cook until onion is translucent and carrots are slightly soft, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in wine and cook until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Add remaining ½ teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper, tomatoes, 2 tablespoons basil, and lemon rind. Simmer 5-6 minutes or until chicken registers 165° on an instant read thermometer. Garnish with remaining basil and serve.
