Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- 30 g butter
- 30 ml olive oil
For the Piccata Sauce
- 120 ml chicken broth
- 60 ml fresh lemon juice
- 60 ml white wine (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 30 g capers
- 30g fresh parsley chopped
- 30g butter
- salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1.5 cm thick.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer for a minute or two to reduce slightly.
- Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Stir in the capers, chopped parsley, and butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens further and the butter is fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the piccata sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.Enjoy your delicious Chicken Piccata with a tangy lemon-caper sauce!
