Chicken Piccata

Method

Chicken Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce

    In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in capers.

  5. 5

    Finish Chicken

    Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining butter until melted.

Pasta

  1. 6

    Cook Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Combine Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked penne with your choice of creamy vodka sauce or marinara sauce until well coated.

Insalata Mista

  1. 8

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  2. 9

    Dress Salad

    Drizzle with creamy balsamic dressing and toss to coat evenly before serving.

Garlic Stick Pie

  1. 10

    Prepare Dough

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
