Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of capers, rinsed
- Optional: fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Finish the dish: Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the chicken piccata with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves, if desired.
Tips
- You can serve your chicken piccata with a side of pasta or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- For an extra lemony flavor, add some lemon slices to the sauce while it’s simmering.
