Easy Chicken Piccata Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 6 months, 3 weeks ago Piccata is probably among my husband's Top 5 Favorites, but I never used to be a big lemon fan. Lately I have fallen in love with the tart flavor of lemon, and this dish is perfect to satisfy that crave. It's so easy, it goes on the table in under 30 minutes,...

Ingredients

⅓ to ½ cup flour

½ teaspoon freshly ground sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to give you 2 thin filets from each breast (if there is a section of the rib meat attached to the breast, cut it off and fry it with the other pieces)

4 tablespoons butter, divided

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

⅓ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

⅔ cup chicken stock

¼ cup capers

¼ teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste

Directions

Season flour with salt and pepper, then dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil.

When butter and oil start to sizzle, add flour-coated chicken pieces and cook for about 3 minutes.

When chicken is lightly browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes.

Remove chicken to a cookie sheet and keep it warm in 200 degree oven while reducing the sauce.

Add lemon juice, stock and capers to the skillet.

Bring sauce to a boil, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add garlic salt and check for seasoning – add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Gently boil the sauce for a couple minuites to reduce it down a bit.

Return chicken pieces to the pan and gently simmer for 3 minutes.

Place chicken pieces on two plates.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk quickly.

Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

If serving with pasta, top it with a bit of the sauce, too.

Should we start calling you Krumcake Ray? Less than 30 minutes, sounds like my type of dinner lately,now if I could only remember to thaw out the chicken. Lemon and capers are wonderful together. Sounds wonderful my friend....:)

Thanks for the new dinner recipe to make, Krumkake! I'm loving that you use both olive oil and butter to fry the chicken in. Just that alone says that this is a good recipe. So guess what's probably for dinner tomorrow night? Chicken Piccata!

I love chicken piccata - this is close to my recipe one thing missing here is white wine. Add a little near the end for some added flavor.
