Chicken Piccata

Lemon Butter Chicken Piccata with Capers and Fresh Parsley

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

1/4 cup brined capers, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Lemon slices, for garnish

Directions:

Slice chicken breasts horizontally to make thinner cutlets. Pound lightly if needed for even thickness.

Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour. Shake off excess.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Let it reduce by half.

Stir in lemon juice and capers. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Return chicken to pan and simmer another 2 minutes, spooning sauce over the top.

Stir in remaining tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon slices for garnish.
