THE DISH:
Creamy rosemary-Dijon chicken with artichokes, kale & sun dried tomatoes | serves 4
THE STUFF:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 (about 1 ½ pounds) boneless and skinless chicken thighs
Kosher S+P
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced⅓ cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups half & half
2 tablespoons Maille Dijon mustard
¼ cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese
1 (14.5 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 packed cup shredded kale
⅓ cup julienned sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
½ - 1 cup chicken broth, if needed to thin out sauce
THE HOW-TO:
Warm the olive oil in a shallow Dutch oven or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs generously with S+P and add to the skillet. Sauté until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the butter and the shallots to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and the rosemary and cook for an additional minute. Add the white wine to the pan and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let this cook until it’s mostly evaporated, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the half & half and Maille Dijon mustard. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Stir in the Pecorino cheese and then taste the sauce. Add S+P as needed. Add the artichokes, kale and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine and then nestle the chicken back into the cream sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to rewarm the chicken. If the sauce is too thick, use chicken broth to thin it out to desired consistency. Serve at once.
