EASY CHICKEN PICCATA



Easy Chicken Piccata image

In this classic chicken dish, a swirl of butter in the white-wine sauce gives it a creamy consistency.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces linguine
3 packed cups loose baby spinach (about 5 ounces), torn into pieces
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Season cutlets with salt and pepper, then dip into flour, turning to coat; shake off excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add half the chicken; cook until lightly browned and opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and chicken (reserve skillet for sauce).
  • Meanwhile, cook linguine in boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Add spinach, and stir until submerged. Drain pasta mixture and return to pot. Toss with 1 tablespoon butter; season generously with salt and pepper. Add some reserved pasta water if necessary. Cover to keep warm.
  • Into skillet, pour wine and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high, stirring to loosen browned bits, until liquid has reduced to 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; swirl in 2 remaining tablespoons butter until melted. (For a smoother sauce, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired.) Add capers, and season with salt and pepper. Divide chicken and linguine among four serving plates; top chicken with sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken breast. Organic, free-range chicken is best.
  • Pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned flour. This will give the chicken a flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened before serving. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour.
  • Serve the chicken piccata immediately. It is best when eaten hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken piccata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive dish that your family and friends will love.
