Chicken Piccata
Posted on October 26, 2007
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 pounds
1/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cup chopped green olives
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
Lay chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound into 1/4-inch thickness. Dredge chicken in flour, patting off any excess. In small bowl stir together lemon juice, capers, olives and parsley.
In large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Add chicken breasts to pan, sauteing until golden, about 2 minutes each side. Remove chicken breasts to dinner plates.
Reduce heat to low and add butter to pan. Stir until melted, add lemon juice mixture, continuing to stir until hot. Spoon some sauce over each chicken breast and serve immediately.
