From the Test Kitchen

WHY WE LOVE THIS DISH
Both simple and sophisticated, this seasonal dish stars a classic duo of chicken and mashed potatoes—elevated by a rich, bright pan sauce of pancetta, marinated artichokes, fresh rosemary, butter, and more.

INGREDIENT IN FOCUS
Italian pancetta is seasoned, salt-cured meat made from pork belly (similar to bacon, but not smoked), which adds incredible depth of flavor and pleasant saltiness to a variety of dishes.

tips & techniques
Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; finely chop the leaves. Roughly chop the artichokes. Remove and discard any stems from the grapes; halve the grapes. Cut off and discard the root ends of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.

Cook & mash the potatoes
2 Cook & mash the potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water and cook 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the cream and half the butter; using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

3 Cook the chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pancetta. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced shallot, chopped rosemary leaves, and chopped artichokes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the pancetta is cooked through. Add the demi-glace (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), verjus, and 2 tablespoons of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat; stir in the remaining butter until melted and combined.
