Ultimate Chicken Piccata
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - trimmed and cut in half crosswise
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
2
Dredge the chicken breast pieces in the seasoned mixture to coat; gently shake off any excess flour.
3
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches a suitable temperature, without allowing it to start browning.
4
Fry the coated chicken breast pieces in the hot butter until they are golden brown, and the juices run clear, indicating that the chicken is cooked through. This should take around 10 minutes and requires frequent stirring to prevent burning.
5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and keep it warm until ready to serve.
6
Add white wine to the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spoon to release any browned food residue.
7
Combine lemon juice with the wine mixture, reducing heat to a low simmer and allowing it to thicken slightly. This should take about 10 minutes, during which time the mixture should be stirred occasionally to prevent scorching.
8
Stir in capers and then return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring that it is well-coated with the sauce.
9
To serve, place the chicken on a serving platter, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and garnish with slices of lemon and fresh parsley.
