Best Chicken With Wine And Capers Recipes

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have thin cutlets. Cover them with a sheet of plastic wrap (cling film) and bash them gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are around ¼ inch (1cm) thick.
• Season the chicken with salt then dredge each cutlet in flour (3/4 cup) making sure to shake off any excess.
• Heat the olive oil (1 tbsp) in a large skillet or frying pan, once hot fry the chicken cutlets in batches for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Place the cooked chicken on a clean plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Turn the heat down low and add 1 tbsp of butter (15g). Once melted add the wine (½ cup) and the stock (1 cup/240ml) then turn the heat to high and whisk the sauce until it starts to thicken slightly (about 5-6 minutes).
• Add the remaining butter (1 tbsp), capers (2 tbsp) and lemon juice (1 tbsp), stir until the butter has melted. Add the chicken back to the pan. If your pan or skillet isn't big enough serve your chicken on a serving plate and pour over the sauce. 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.

CHICKEN WITH WINE AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and fry for 10-12 mins on each side until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed plate, cover and keep warm.
• To make the sauce, add the wine and capers to the same pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins until the wine is reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and butter and stir in the parsley.
• Divide the chicken among four warmed plates, pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with rice.
