Southern Living's Chicken Piccata/ Piccata Chicken Breasts image

I found this recipe in Southern Living's Ultimate Quick & Easy Cookbook. My family LOVES it. It is very simple and quick, but it tastes delicious. I serve it with crisp baby green beans and various kinds of rice. In the past, I have added minced garlic and chopped parsley to the last cooking step (when you reduce the broth to make a light sauce). Enjoy!

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup hot water (I often use chicken broth)
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons lemon juice
lemon slice

Steps:

  • Combine egg and one tbsp lemon juice. Dip chicken in egg mixture.
  • Combine flour and next three ingredients in a zip-top freezer bag. Add chicken; seal bag and shake to coat.
  • Melt butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook approximately five minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Combine 1/2 cup hot water, bouillon, and two tbsp lemon juice, stirring until bouillon dissolves. Add bouillon mixture to skillet.
  • Bring to boil, and cook over high heat for three minutes or until mixture reduces to 1/4 cup. Spoon sauce over chicken. Garnish, if desired.
