Recipe 3: Easy Chicken Piccata

 

Easy Chicken Piccata

This is a classic recipe that’s perfect for a busy weeknight. It’s also great for company because it’s quick to make and looks impressive on a plate!

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breasts

  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/2 stick butter

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • Olive oil

  • 2tsp Italian seasoning (thyme, oregano and rosemary mixed)

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice

  • 2 or 3 lemon slices

  • 2 tbsp capers

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley

  • 1 cup chicken stock (unsalted)

  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Directions

    • Split each chicken breast in to two pieces horizontally and place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a mallet gently pound chicken into ¼ inch thick cutlets.
    • Season cutlets with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute cutlets 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Transfer cutlets to a warmed platter. Deglaze pan with wine. Add minced garlic and cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add broth, lemon juice, and capers.
    • Return cutlets to pan and cook on each side for 1 minute. Transfer cutlets to warm plates.
    • Finish sauce with butter and lemons. Once butter melts, pour sauce over cutlets. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
