Lemon Artichoke Chicken with Capers & Feta Sauce

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 3 - 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 chicken leg quarters (or other chicken parts), skin on
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 46 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 14-oz. jar of marinated artichoke hearts
  • About 15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 2 Tablespoons capers
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Several fresh basil leaves, cut in strips
  • About 1 oz. feta cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with Red Robin Seasoning (or salt) and freshly ground pepper. Set a large pan on the induction cooktop, set it at 320 (medium) and brown the chicken on both sides (about 5 – 7 minutes on each side).
  2. Remove chicken and drain any excess fat from the pan. Add onion and garlic and saute briefly, till the onion is tender.
  3. Put the chicken back in the pan. Add the artichoke hearts with all the juices from the jar, the cherry tomatoes, capers and lemon juice.
  4. Cover, reduce the heat to 280 (medium low) and cook for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the largest piece of chicken is pierced with a knife. Stir in the basil leaves.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and veggies from the pan to a serving tray, leaving the juices in the pan. Add the feta and stir. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch, then stir this into the hot liquid in the pan, cooking and stirring until the sauce is thickened.
  6. Serve with hot rice, couscous, quinoa or mashed potatoes, with some extra crumbled feta for the top and the feta sauce to drizzle over it all.
