CHICKEN PICCATA



Chicken Piccata image

A deliciously juicy and flavorful chicken dinner that's a breeze to put together, this Chicken Piccata recipe will be an instant favorite.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, halved horizontally
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 tablespoons dry white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, soaked in water 20 minutes, then drained, rinsed, and drained again
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place chicken between plastic wrap and pound evenly until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread flour in a shallow dish; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; whisk to combine. Place chicken in seasoned flour, turning to coat thoroughly, then tap off the excess.
  • Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter starts to sizzle. Cook the chicken in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan (the cutlets should fit snugly in a single layer) until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes for each side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cutlet. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Pour out any excess fat from the pan.
  • Return pan to medium heat and add wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. (If the liquid is reducing too quickly -- before all the browned bits have been incorporated -- remove the pan from the heat.) Remove the pan from the heat. Add lemon juice, capers, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl until melted and combined, then add parsley and season with salt as desired.
  • Immediately pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use thin-sliced chicken breasts. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help them develop flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Don't overcook the chicken breasts. They should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking. This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the chicken is finished cooking.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce immediately. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sautéed boneless, skinless chicken breasts piccata is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
