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.
  • Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. 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.

Provided by Joanna

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Chicken Breasts
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Chicken Stock
1 clove Garlic (crushed)
1 Lemon (juice only)
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Capers
Sea Salt and Black Pepper
1 Lemon (sliced)
1 tbsp Chopped Parsley

Steps:

  • Carefully cut the chicken breasts in half through the middle so they are thinner and don't dry out during cooking. Season them well with sea salt and pepper.
  • Get a large skillet or frying pan nice and hot over a high heat. Add the olive oil, turn the heat down to medium and sear the chicken on one side for between 3-4 minutes, until it turns a nice golden brown.
  • Turn and cook the other side for between 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. You may need to do this in batches so the pan isn't overcrowded. The meat should no longer be pink inside (or if you're using a thermometer, the meat should register 165ºF)
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, cover and set aside to rest.
  • Make the sauce by deglazing the hot pan with the chicken stock. Add the stock to the hot pan and use your spatula to scrape any tasty bits stuck on the pan into the stock.
  • Add the crushed garlic, lemon juice and the butter and let it bubble while the flavors come together.
  • Stir through the capers then add the chicken back to the pan and allow to reheat for a moment or two.
  • Garnish with the chopped parsley and lemon slices and serve!

CHICKEN IN LEMON CAPER BUTTER



Chicken in Lemon Caper Butter image

The first dish I ever served to guests and the response I got was so positive I've been making it ever since. Needless to say, it's a very simple recipe. One of the few chicken dishes I still make using bone-in, skin-on chicken parts. When feeding known garlic-lovers, I'll increase the garlic. I generally serve it with noodles. While I post the original amounts from the recipe below, I actually do not measure the butter & lemon juice when I make this, but rather use 1 lemon's worth lemon juice and approximately the same or just slightly more butter, so that the butter comes to about 2-3 Tbs I would guess.

CHICKEN PICCATA (SOUTH BEACH PHASE 1)



Chicken Piccata (South Beach Phase 1) image

I found this on the South Beach Diet (SBD) website. It is a Phase 1 recipe. Even though we are no longer on the SBD, my husband and I still enjoy this recipe. The original recipe is posted here http://www.southbeachdiet.com/recipes/chicken-piccata.asp

Provided by Sammy Mae

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb whole skinless boneless chicken breast, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons trans-free margarine
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken pieces to flatten them slightly. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat an empty pan on high heat, then add the oil and one tablespoon of the margarine and allow that to get hot (but not smoking). Then carefully add the chicken, making sure the oil doesn't splatter. Doing this process will prevent the chicken from sticking. If you heat the oil and pan together, or if the pan isn't hot enough, the chicken will stick.
  • Sauté the chicken pieces for 1 minute on each side, or until they are cooked through. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a platter and cover it loosely to keep it warm.
  • Pour off any remaining fat and oil from the skillet.
  • Return it to the stovetop and add the remaining 1 tablespoon margarine, the sherry, and the lemon juice, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Stir in the capers, the parsley, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

SBD-LEMONCAPER CHICKEN



SBD-LEMONCAPER CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 thinly-sliced boneless, skinless
Chicken breast halves (about 4oz each)
Salt and pepper
4 teaspoons whole-wheat flour, divided
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Warm oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken breasts with paper towels to thoroughly dry. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with flour, using about 1 tsp for each breast. 2. Lay chicken in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, gently pressing down on breast to ensure equal browning. Reduce heat to medium. Turn breasts; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove breasts to a serving platter. 3. Reduce heat to low; add shallots and capers to skillet. Cook 30 seconds, stirring. Add broth and juice; cook 1 minute, until incorporated and thickened, stirring. Stir in parsley; pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the Chicken to the Correct Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temperature. This will help you avoid overcooking or undercooking the chicken.
  • Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: You can make the lemon caper sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the dish.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
