Steps:

  • Sear the chicken cutlets: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a stick-free sauté pan over medium-high heat until almost smoking, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle salt over the pounded chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side in the hot pan, working in batches so that you do not crowd the pan.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and cover with foil to keep them warm.
  • Sauté the shallots: Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the shallots and cook 1 minute, stirring often. Do not let them burn, and if they begin to brown rapidly, turn the heat down.
  • Add the garlic and cook another 45 seconds to 1 minute, stirring often.
  • Deglaze pan with wine, add capers, red pepper flakes:Add the white wine and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the capers and red pepper flakes and boil until the wine is almost gone, about 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve with arugula, shaved fennel, shaved Parmesan:To serve, mix the arugula and shaved fennel and put some on each plate. Arrange some shaved parmesan over them.
  • Lay a piece of chicken on each salad, then top with a little of the sauce. Serve hot.
