Chicken Piccata

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

2

Season and Dredge

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Cooking

3

Sear the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

5

Finish the Dish

Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
