Lemony Chicken Piccata
Serve with any steam vegetable and a salad

Serves 4 - 1 cutlet with 2 tablespoons sauce

  • 2 (8-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/3 cup sauvignon blanc or other crisp, tart white wine
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Split chicken breast halves in half horizontally to form 4 cutlets. Place each cutlet between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each cutlet to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle cutlets evenly with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge cutlets in flour.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cutlets to pan, and sauté 2 minutes. Turn cutlets over; sauté for 1 minute.

Remove the cutlets from pan. Repeat the procedure with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 2 cutlets.

Add wine to pan, and bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

Cook for 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cook until broth mixture is reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 4 minutes). Stir in juice and capers. Serve over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley.
