Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

  4. 6

    Add Capers

    Stir in the capers and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

  5. 7

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve the Chicken Picatta hot with the sauce drizzled over.
