Chicken Piccata

Looking for a classic restaurant dish to cook at home? We got you! Piccata refers to pounded meat quickly cooked in a timeless lemon-caper sauce. The trick is to flour the meat lightly before searing it to ensure top-notch colouring and a rich, thick sauce. Serve your chicken piccata with a simple side of butter pasta, a big green salad, or even just a nice crusty bread to soak up the goodness (scarpetta anyone?) Whatever you do, just make sure that not even one drop of this sumptuous sauce goes to waste!

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Season the chicken slices with salt and black pepper to taste. Dredge the meat lightly in the flour and set aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of the butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the floured chicken slices on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the wine and reduce. Add the chicken stock and reduce by half.
  4. Incorporate the remaining 2 tbsp of butter, the capers, the lemon juice, and zest.
  5. Put the seared chicken back into the pan and warm up in the sauce until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
