Chicken Piccata
- SERVES
- 4
- SERVING SIZE
- 1 (4-ounce) chicken breast
- COOK TIME
- 15 Min
This easy chicken dish that hails from Italy gets its classic flavor from the splash of lemon, the elegance of white wine, and garden-fresh parsley.
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound total), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 lemon, cut in half
What to Do
- Place the flour in a shallow dish. Place the beaten egg in another shallow dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the flour, then dip in the egg.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden.
- Add the wine and capers to the skillet and squeeze the lemon over the chicken. Cook for 2 to 4 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce begins to glaze the chicken.
Notes
Pounding the chicken so thin makes this cook up in no time - which means that even if you get last-minute guests, they'll think you fussed for hours!
