SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH CAPERS



Sauteed Chicken with Capers image

A thinly pounded breast works as well for sauteing as it does for grilling. It cooks quickly but stays moist. Dredging the chicken in flour before cooking gives it a golden exterior and leaves bits in the pan that make a great base for a simple sauce.

Provided by ALISSASMOM

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.

The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
  • To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

SEARED CHICKEN BREAST WITH POTATOES AND CAPERS



Seared Chicken Breast With Potatoes and Capers image

Pan-seared chicken is a skill with countless rewards. (If this is your first time making chicken this way, you'll understand why fast.) You'll want to start the chicken on the stovetop and finish it in the oven. Then, once it's perfectly cooked, you can pair it with almost anything, whether a simple green salad or a side of smashed potatoes loaded with butter, mustard, capers and chopped lemon, as it is here. The trick is to steam, not boil, the potatoes, which gets them soft and smashable quickly. You need very little water (an inch or so), so there's no waiting around for water to boil, and, best of all, you won't lose any of that rich potato flavor.

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
Black pepper
1 1/2 pound small potatoes, washed and scrubbed (skin on), about 12 potatoes
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees with the oven rack in the center. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside for the skin to air dry.
  • Meanwhile, steam the potatoes in a steamer set over an inch or two of boiling water, covered, until they are just tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, season well, and set aside, covered, to stay warm and moist.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your largest skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, lay the chicken breasts skin-side down. Cook without moving until the skin is deeply golden brown and releases easily from the pan, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the breasts and transfer the skillet to the oven (or cook the breasts in batches, if needed, and transfer the four breasts to a baking sheet to finish in the oven). Cook until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees, about 7 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of each breast. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  • While the chicken cooks, transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and smash them with a baking sheet of equal size, or the back of a clean pot, to burst their skins and reveal some of the tender flesh. Very thinly slice half of the lemon and chop slices into small pieces; juice the other half and whisk together with the Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and melted butter to make a smooth dressing. Drizzle over the potatoes. Scatter the capers, chopped lemon and parsley all over the top.
  • Serve the chicken breasts whole, or slice on the bias and serve with the potatoes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (6 -7 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves (trimmed of excess fat)
3/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
5 tablespoons capers, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon, zest of
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups toasted breadcrumbs (see recipe below and double it)

Steps:

  • To make bread crumbs: Tear or cut 1/2 lb. firm, white, country style bread into 1-2" pieces. Put few handfuls into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse into coarse crumbs. Repeat until you have 4 cups of crumbs. Pour crumbs into mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted, unsalted butter.
  • Heat large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until crumbs start to color and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring, until crumbs dry out and have browned nicely, about 6 minutes. Cool before using.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put flat rack on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
  • With a meat pounder or a heavy skillet, lightly pound the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to even out the thickness of the breasts.
  • In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the capers, 1 tablespoons of the thyme, and the oil, mustard, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Squeeze 1-2 lemon wedges to get 1 tablespoons of lemon juice and add to the mixture, along with 2 tablespoons of water. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. You can proceed directly to coating the breasts with crumbs, or let them marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Put the breadcrumbs in a large shallow dish and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano, 2 1/2 tablespoons capers, and 1 tbsp of thyme.
  • Working with one piece at a time, transfer the chicken to the dish of crumbs, scoop some crumbs on top, and press well a couple of times so the crumbs adhere to both sides. Use the heel of your hand and a firm rotating motion to press crumbs onto the chicken, Don't shake off any excess when transferring the breasts to the baking sheet; keep as many crumbs on the chicken as possible.
  • Bake the chicken until it's firm to the touch and registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over the chicken.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN DILL-CAPER CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Breasts in Dill-Caper Cream Sauce image

I used another recipe for inspiration and came up with this recipe that is my own creation. The sauteed chicken breasts are topped with a rich and flavorful dill caper cream sauce. This sauce would also be wonderful over whitefish fillets. If you use dried herbs, reduce the quantity to 1/3, as dried herbs are more potent.
