Wow yourself and your family when you bring this dish to the table in under 20 minutes. It's complex flavors are Italian-inspired and fresh enough for any time of year. It's brilliant foil is the absence of salt, which it doesn't need because the briny capers and lemon juice pair with the chicken broth to make a sauce that has all the flavor it needs! Serve over a bed of wilted Swiss chard for spinach and some brown rice or pasta, anything to soak up the delicious juices. So pretty in the pan, this dish is nice enough for a dinner party and fast enough for your smallest weeknight dinner window.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut in half horizontally and pounded lightly to make 8 scaloppini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 ounces capers, drained
1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon plus 2 lemons, cut into supremes, for garnish (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
  • Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
  • Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.
