Lemony Chicken Piccata

Serves : 4
Prep Time : 5 MINUTES
Cooking Time : 20 – 25 MINUTES

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast – 4, sliced lengthwise and pounded to 1/2 in thick
  • All Purpose Flour – 1/2 Cup
  • Olive Oil – 2 – 3 tbsp
  • Chicken Stock – 1 Cup
  • Capers – 1/4 Cup, drained
  • Lemon – 1 – 2, juiced
  • Butter (unsalted) – 3 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black Pepper – to taste
  • Method

    – Preheat oven to 180°C.

    – Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

    – Pour flour into a wide shallow bowl. Dip chicken into the flour to coat both sides and shake off any excess before cooking.

    – In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until nicely browned; and work in batches if needed. Once seared on the outside, transfer to a baking dish.

    – Add the stock, capers and lemon juice to the same pan, stirring to loosen any brown bits stuck to the bottom. Whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Keep stirring until creamy and thick.

    – Pour sauce over the chicken. Roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    – Serve with potatoes, roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
