Quick Chicken Piccata
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup capers, drained
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the butter until the sauce becomes silky and slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately!
This bright, tangy dish is full of flavor in no time!
