Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 gallon lukewarm water
¼ cup kosher salt
8 chicken cutlets
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken stock
2 large lemons, juiced
3 ½ ounces capers, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine lukewarm water and salt in a large bowl, stirring until the salt dissolves. Add chicken cutlets and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove chicken and pat dry, discarding brine.
  • Season each cutlet with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour; shake off any excess flour. Place seasoned and floured cutlets on a plate.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat half the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high-heat until butter is melted and oil is shimmering. Add 4 floured cutlets and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Bake chicken cutlets in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While chicken bakes, heat the original skillet over medium-high heat for the sauce. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and cook, stirring constantly, until a spoonable consistency is reached, about 4 minutes.
  • Drizzle sauce over the baked chicken to serve.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN PICCATA



Oven-Baked Chicken Piccata image

This entire dish bakes in a cast iron skillet. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop®, you can use Italian seasoning but it will have a little different taste. Feel free to serve this on top of angel hair pasta if desired.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Piccata Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®)
1 teaspoon garlic salt, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup chicken bone broth
¼ cup lemon juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons capers
¼ cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1 lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Add butter to a large cast iron skillet and place into the oven to allow butter to melt - careful not to burn the butter.
  • In a shallow dish combine flour, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix to combine.
  • Season chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and black pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and mix bone broth and lemon juice into the melted butter. Place the flour-seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and sprinkle with capers. Spoon some of the melted mutter mixture over the chicken.
  • Return skillet to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. If the skillet liquid evaporates too quickly, add additional bone broth and lemon juice.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Carefully pour wine into the bottom of the skillet. Broil chicken until lightly browned on top. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.

1/2 cup dry white wine
Sliced lemon, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

VERY EASY CHICKEN PICCATA



Very Easy Chicken Piccata image

We all loved this dish, even the kids! Serve with crusty french bread, basmati rice and a spring salad. Please note: this is an adopted recipe and I have just tried it myself. Findings: I made it with more chicken stock, double the garlic & more sliced lemon and no lemon juice to suit DH's preference for not too much lemon and becuase we had guests and I had 6 chicken breasts. DH approved of it made this way as the lemon flavour came though well, without being overly acidic. Guests wanted the recipe, so it's a keeper. ZWT REGION: Italy.
