Chicken Piccata
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Place each breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Place flour in a shallow dish, and dredge chicken in flour.
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add white wine, 1/4 cup lemon juice, capers, and garlic to pan; scrape pan to loosen browned bits. Cook for 2 minutes or until slightly thick. Sprinkle chicken with parsley. Serve with sauce on the side.

Note: The original recipe calls for the chicken to be served over spaghetti, but Frank served it with roasted potatoes instead. Either would be lovely.
