Chicken Piccata

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Chicken Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Tenderize the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then press into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and capers. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the remaining butter until melted.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and heat through for another minute. Serve immediately.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  3. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and serve alongside the chicken piccata.
