Similar Categories: Chicken, Piccata, Artichokes, Olives
Serving Size : 8
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 6-ounce chicken cutlets -- about 1/8 inch thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/8 cup vegetable oil
16 pitted calamata olives -- drained and coarsely chopped
4 marinated artichoke hearts -- from a jar, drained and quartered
2/3 cup chicken stock -- or low-sodium broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the seasoned bread crumbs.
2. In each of 2 large skillets, melt half of the butter in half of the oil over moderately high heat. When the foam subsides, add the chicken to the skillets and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden brown outside and white throughout, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a platter.
3. Wipe out 1 of the skillets and add the olives and artichoke hearts. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until heated through. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and capers and boil for 1 minute, stirring. Spoon the artichoke and olive sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve right away.
WINE: The mix of tangy, savory, Mediterranean flavors in this dish will blend best with a spicy, medium-bodied Mediterranean red or ros. Try the 2000 Domaine St. Antonin Faugres Red from Languedoc-Roussillon or the 2003 Tasca d'Almerita Rose di Regaleali from Sicily.
