  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
– 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– Lemon slices (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Cozy Lemon Herb Chicken Piccata is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Dredge in Flour: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan and bring to a simmer.
6. Thicken the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
7. Add the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
8. Finish with Butter: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Garnish: Serve the chicken with the pan sauce drizzled over the top and garnish with lemon slices.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
