Chicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce
December 14, 2020
This Chicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce is all done in one skillet. It's a simple recipe that gets real depth of flavor by adding broth, white wine, Dijon mustard and a touch of cream. We had leftovers, so the next day I cut up the chicken and served it on spaghetti for lunch!
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 30 mins
- Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1⅓ pounds chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless), salted and peppered
1 small onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
8 ounces (about 1½ cups) thawed frozen or canned artichoke hearts, drained and sliced lengthwise
grated zest of 1 lemon (about ½ teaspoon) 1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup chopped grape tomatoes (or ½ cup canned diced tomatoes), or to taste
Directions
1In a large nonreactive skillet, brown the chicken pieces in the olive oil over medium-high heat, in batches if necessary, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (They do not have to cook through.) Remove the chicken, reduce the heat to medium, and add the red pepper flakes and the onions. Cook for a minute or two, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits leftover from the chicken. (Keep those brown bits in the pan - they add lots of flavor.) Add the artichoke hearts, lemon zest, oregano, and salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes then stir in tomatoes. Nestle the chicken thighs among the vegetables, then add the wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
2While the chicken mixture is simmering, in a small bowl whisk together the cream and mustard. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the creamy mustard sauce. Serve topped with parsley or thyme.

We loved this chicken dish!! Absolutely delish. Because we’re mostly nondairy I substituted a touch of oat milk and more chicken stock. Worked great! I will make this for company (if we ever have dinner parties again).
