Chicken Piccata

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add lemon juice and capers, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for another minute to heat the chicken through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
