CHICKEN WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE (POLLO CON SALSA DI CAPPERI E LIMONE) BY COREY

Steps:

• After washing, defatting, & drying chicken cutlets, lay them onto a non-porous (i.e., silicone) cutting board or other smooth, clean surface. Cover chicken with plastic wrap, and tenderize by pounding flat with the bumpy (i.e., waffle-patterned) side of meat mallet to a uniform thickness of about 1/4". After chicken has been tenderized, cut each piece crosswise into halves (or thirds, if you prefer). In a large 12-13" nonstick sauté pan, sauté chicken in 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil on medium-low heat until golden brown & slightly crispy around the edges (but still moist & tender on the inside), about 2-3 minutes per side. (Tenderized chicken cooks much faster because it's thinner & has more exposed surface area after it's been tenderized.) With about a minute of cooking to go, squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken. Transfer to two plates & set aside. Keep chicken warm by covering with foil or using some other method (i.e., a chafing dish, warm/heated plates, etc.). Reduce heat to low. In the same pan, melt butter & stir in flour to form a light & frothy paste (i.e., a "roux"). Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil & sauté shallots for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add garlic & cook for an additional 2 minutes, until tender. (Shallots should be soft and the garlic should be on the verge of turning a light golden brown.) Then deglaze pan with wine & vinegar, scraping off the fond from the bottom of the pan as the liquid evaporates. Quickly stir in thyme, oregano, parsley, & ground black pepper, & reduce the sauce to about 1/2 of its original volume, continuing to stir & simmer until thickened. In the final 30 seconds of cooking, add capers & lemon zest (if using), & then remove from heat. (This will basically just heat the capers through without drying them out.) Pour sauce over each serving of chicken. Garnish each portion with additional fresh chopped parsley & lemon slices, & serve.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
• Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
• To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.
