Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

• •4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
• •1/2 cup flour
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
• •1 shallot, minced
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/4 cup dry white wine
• •1/3 cup lemon juice
• •1/4 cup capers
• •1 cup chicken broth
• •4 tbsp butter
• •2 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps

1. 1.Season the pounded chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
2. 2.Heat the olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through; set aside.
3. 3.Add the shallot and garlic to the same pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, then pour in the white wine, scraping up the browned bits, and let it reduce by about a third.
4. 4.Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
5. 5.Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter until the sauce is glossy - adding it off the heat keeps the sauce from breaking.
6. 6.Return the chicken to the pan to coat in the sauce, then garnish with parsley before serving.
