Chicken with Artichokes and Angelhair Pasta

Martha Stewart

Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

8 thin chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts packed in water, rinsed, drained, and quartered

2 tablespoons rinsed and drained capers

2 tablespoons butter

8 ounces angelhair pasta

1/2 cup parsley leaves

Directions

Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Place flour in a shallow dish, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge cutlets, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook chicken in batches, adding remaining oil as needed, until light golden, 1 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a dish.

Add broth to skillet, and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Add artichokes, capers, and the chicken with any juices. Gently swirl to combine, and bring just to a boil. Remove skillet from heat. Swirl in butter, and cover to keep warm.

Add pasta to boiling water. Cook until al dente; drain.

Serve chicken and sauce over pasta, topped with parsley.

Wild rice was mentioned in last nite's dinner thread. This is the recipe that I use for Wild Rice Soup. It's delicious, as Patti can also attest.

Wild Rice Soup

6 tablespoons margarine or butter
2-3 tablespoons minced onion
1/2 cup flour
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked wild rice
1/2 cup finely grated carrots (I use more)
1 cup minced ham or leftover cooked chicken
3 tablespoons slivered almonds (you can put them in the soup OR toast and top as a garnish)
Salt to taste if you want
1 cup half and half (see note below)
2 tablespoons dry sherry

In large saucepan, melt margarine; saute onion until tender. Blend in flour; gradually add broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; boil and stir 1 minute.

Stir in rice, carrots, ham, almonds and salt; simmer about 5 minutes. Blend in half and half and sherry; heat to serving temperature. Garnish with snipped parsley or chives.

Sauteed sliced portabella mushrooms are a nice addition to this recipe.
If half n half is too rich or caloric for you feel free to sub in some milk or low fat cream. This recipe is very forgiving and there aren't many substitutions that can ruin it.

Amount: 6 to 7 cups.

Son and his wife enjoy fine dining and discovered a new restaurant named Five and had this as an appetizer. Said it was to die for!

Baked avocado

2 large avocados
1/4 cup crumbled Stilton
1/4 cup walnut halves
1/2 pound pancetta, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving the skin intact, and roughly dice the avocado. Place avocado in an ovenproof dish, and add the crumbled blue cheese, walnuts, pancetta, and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the mixture back into the avocado shells and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and place in the broiler for 2 minutes right before serving.

To serve, place on a serving tray with sliced baguette or crackers.

I love apple cake. Do you think a little cinnamon would enhance this recipe or not? CARAMEL APPLE CAKE (Paula Deen recipe from The Charm of Home) 2 1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup chopped walnuts 2 1/2 cups diced apples, canned or fresh Preheat oven 350 degrees. Cream together sugar, eggs, and oil. Add flour; mix together until well blended. Add vanilla, nuts, and diced apples. Spread into a lightly greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking dish; bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. When cake is done, punch holes in it with a knife and pour topping over. Caramel Topping: (I cut all of this recipe in half, it was just way too much butter and sugar.) This is the cut in half version. 1 1/2 stick of butter 1 cup of brown sugar 1/8 cup of milk Heat all ingredients together over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for about 2 minutes. Pour over warm cake. Serves 15-20

Made this quite a few times and it's become restaurants "new" thing here. One restaurant serves every Wed smoked pork and grits. Grits and greens **with my added notes 3 cups milk 1 cup water Use chicken stock skip the bullion cubes 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 cup "quick" grits 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 lb. greens (mustard, turnip, collard, spinach, chard, or any combo of these) or equivalent amount of frozen or canned greens Usegood GLORY CANNED SEASON TURNIP GREENS 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings (or oil or butter) don't need several slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled salt and pepper to taste Directions: In large heavy saucepan or pot heat the milk, water and bouillon cube to just below a boil. Slowly whisk in grits and cook for 5-10 minutes or until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching. When grits are thickened, stir in 1 and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and allow to melt (reserve 1/4 cup for top). Remove from heat. Meanwhile, wash greens and heat bacon drippings in large skillet over high heat. Put greens in skillet while still a little wet from washing. Cook until thoroughly wilted, then drain. If using frozen greens, just heat and drain well; if canned, just drain well. Chop greens up very fine. Stir into grits mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into casserole dish (I use 2 pie pans and freeze one of these for later). Top with crumbled bacon and remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. You want it to still be a little bit loose. It will thicken as it stands. Use broiler to brown top. This freezes well. Just thaw beforehand and cook as above, adding another 10-15 minutes.

Glenda, would you mind sharing if it isn't too much trouble? I don't remember ever having sour cream, but maybe mother just bought it for special recipes.
