Ingredients
- 8 chicken tighs skin on
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup brandy
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup sodium-free chicken stock
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- flat-leaf parsley chopped
- Fresh lemon slices
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken tights all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat add 1 olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter.
- Sauté the chicken tights skin down for 5 - 6 minutes per side if the skin feels some resistance when shaking the skillet, cook it a bit longer. Turn them over and sauté the other side until nicely browned, and no juices are running, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Lower the heat under the skillet. Add the brandy and chicken broth to the pan and put it back on the heat and bring it to a boil. Add minced garlic. Cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid half evaporated about 2 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, parsley, and capers and continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Finish the sauce with butter and lemons slices. Once the butter melts and thickens the sauce, it is ready to serve.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- Storing and reheating instructions
- If you have leftovers, this dish will store well in the refrigerator for several days.
- Please bring it back to room temperature before reheating.
- I use two methods: stove top and oven.
- Stovetop:
- Oven:
- place the chicken in a skillet, add a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken stock and one tablespoon of butter, cover, and reheat over medium-low heat for a few minutes.
- Turn occasionally, and be careful it will not burn.
- Add more water if needed it.
- Turn on your oven at 325F.
- Place your chicken piccata in an oven-proof dish with a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken stock.
- Spread butter on one side of aluminum foil which you will place over the chicken.
- Place your dish in the oven even if the oven has not reached the desired temperature, and reheat for 15 to 20 minutes.
