Chicken Piccata

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Chicken Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sauté 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 the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 4 cloves of garlic (peeled and whole) to the pot.

  2. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and garlic. Return them to the pot, and add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.

  4. 8

    Serve

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