The Only Chicken Piccata

The Only Chicken Piccata


1. Pound chicken breast halves to 1/2 thick cutlets.

2. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of chicken cutlets.

3. Heat oil and butter over medium heat in a large heavy saucepan with a lid.

4. Dredge chicken in flour, shake off excess, and saute in pan about 3 minutes per side, until golden, turning only once.

5. Remove chicken from pan and set aside on a plate.

6. Using the same pan, with drippings, saute shallots 2 minutes.

7. Add wine, cook 1-2 minutes until alcohol evaporates.

8. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

9. Add capers.

10. Cook sauce about ten minutes, whisking in flour (I prefer Wondra) to thicken sauce.

11. Return chicken cutlets and any juices to pan and simmer another 4-5 minutes.

12. Off heat, add lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

13. Serve over al dente pasta or with a side of rice pilaf and fresh seasonal vegetables.
