Recipe type: Chicken
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 lemons (2 for the sauce and 1 to slice for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
  1. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour.
  2. In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, medium heat. I wouldn't use non-stick though because you want the brown bits on the bottom of the pan to make the yummy sauce.
  3. Shake off excess flour from the chicken and add them into the hot oil. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the pan.
  4. Add ⅓ cup of lemon juice (about 2 lemon), white wine, capers and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Add chicken back to the pan. Add about 2 tablespoons of butter, stir around until it melts. The sauce will begin to thicken a little.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and sliced lemons. Alternatively, you can toss pasta like angel hair into the sauce and serve Chicken Piccata on top or serve it with crusty country bread.
