Chicken Piccata

Mashed Potatoes

Green Beans & Cherry Tomatoes

Method

Chicken Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in all-purpose flour, shaking off excess flour.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped parsley before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and quarter the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

  2. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Green Beans & Cherry Tomatoes

  1. 9

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Trim the ends of the green beans and wash the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 10

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

  3. 11

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and the green beans are tender. Season with salt and black pepper.
