Chicken Piccata

GingerPeach's Note:

Lightly breaded and pan-fried with lemon juice and capers, this dish has a lot of zest!

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 small onion
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons capers
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1. Chop the onion and set aside.
2. Crush the garlic and add to the onions.
3. Combine chicken broth, lemon juice, parsley, capers and black pepper.
4. Cut each chicken breast in half to make 4 thin filets.
5. Salt and pepper the chicken.
6. Pat the chicken in bread crumbs to coat.
7. Heat the olive oil in a skillet- there should be enough to coat the bottom (note: try not to use a non-stick skillet).
8. Cook chicken on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
9. Remove chicken from skillet and throw in the onions and garlic.
10. Sautee for about 5 minutes or until onions are softened.

We loved this. I followed your recipe except I added a sliced lemon to the sauce mixture. Delicious. We served this with buttered noodles and a veggie. Thank you for sharing.

Delicious and easy!

We liked the flavors in this. The only thing I didn't like was all the chicken broth added to the pan at the end; we would have liked it better without so much extra juice. The breading on the chicken would have been a nicer texture that way.
