Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half length-wise
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (¾ stick)
- 1 cup white wine or chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
- 4 tablespoons capers drained
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl, and dip each chicken breast to coat. Coat both sides and shake off any excess. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to shimmer/crackle, add the chicken.
- Brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a foil-tented plate.
- Add the white wine (or chicken stock), lemon juice, and capers to the pan, and lightly scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and allow them to melt. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and baste it in the piccata sauce. Allow to simmer until chicken is heated through.
Notes
- Storage: Store chicken piccata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half for better portions and to help them cook more quickly and evenly.
- The chicken should only take about 6-8 minutes total to cook.
- Properly cooked chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before consuming.
- After cooking the chicken, tent it with foil to keep it warm while you finish the recipe.
