Fantastic Chicken Piccata image

I used Grand Chef Potter's Chicken Piccata as a base for this recipe, and am posting with the tweaks I always make when preparing it. It is so yummy, that I eat the sauce over my risotto as well...and have trouble stopping! I usually serve this with Recipe#257278 and a salad or garlic green beans.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded thinly)
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
additional all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup capers, drained
1/4 cup parsley, fresh chopped

Steps:

  • Place chicken between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap. Using meat pounder or rolling pin, lightly pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Dust chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter and mix with 1.5 tablespoons flour in small bowl until smooth, set aside.
  • Place flour on a plate and dip chicken into to coat; shake off excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets. Add 2 chicken breasts to each skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Bring wine, lemon juice and broth to boil in 1 skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk in butter-flour mixture and boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in capers, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and serve with either buttered noodles or risotto.
