1 chicken (about 3 pounds), cut into serving pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, plus more grated zest for garnish
6 large garlic cloves
1 pound artichokes, frozen or canned
8 large shallots, halved
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup green olives, pitted
¼ lb shitake mushrooms sliced
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Place chicken in a shallow roasting pan; set aside. Zest the lemon into long strips, and squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl. Set juice aside.
In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic, artichokes, mushrooms, shallots and thyme. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in pan around chicken. Roast until chicken is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
Remove from oven. Add reserved lemon juice, wine, and olives; stir up any browned bits on the bottom of roasting pan with a wooden spoon. Return to oven, and continue cooking until liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with grated lemon zest and thyme leaves.

Finding new wines for the wine lover is challenge number one. Finding new wines that taste great and are priced for every-day consumption is an even greater challenge. The Yogev line of Israeli wines has been providing wine lovers with quality wines that are priced for weeknight meals and not only special occasions.
can you leave out the olives here? i hate olives. also, can onions replace the shallots.
any suggestions of what brand artichokes to buy and where to get them frozen or canned in the five towns?
This is so delicious. I make it with thin-sliced boneless chicken breasts (my family prefers them) and I put the olives in with the mushrooms, shallots, etc. I also add a little garlic powder to season the chicken with. It is really a nice and healthy dinner and my family loves it. Thanks for the recipe!
