Mezza Chicken Limone Recipe

Season the Chicken

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Pan-Sear the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and capers. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Finish the Sauce

Add butter to the sauce and stir until melted and combined. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to reheat the chicken.

Cook the Potatoes

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

Mash the Potatoes

Add butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Steam the Broccolini

While the potatoes are cooking, steam the broccolini for 4-5 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
