Very Easy Chicken Piccata

Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, seasoned with
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 small lemon, halved lengthwise, then sliced
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 1 1/2 large or 3 small lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Directions

  • 1 Preheat oven to 200 degrees; place a heat-proof platter (or casserole dish) in oven.
  • 2 Pour flour onto a plate. Coat both sides of chicken breast halves in flour; shake off excess.
  • 3 Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Saute half the chicken (without moving) until lightly browned on first side, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 4 Turn and cook until second side is lightly browned and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to heated platter or casserole dish and return to oven.
  • 5 Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
  • 6 In same skillet, saute garlic about 10 seconds; add broth and lemon slices. Increase heat to high. Scrape skillet bottom with wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Simmer about 10 minutes to reduce liquid.
  • 7 Add lemon juice and capers and simmer about 5 more minutes.
  • 8 Remove pan from heat and stir in butter until it melts and sauce thickens. Blend in parsley.
  • 9 Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
