• Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish. Press chicken into flour to coat completely.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken in hot butter mixture until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet to a serving platter and cover with a lid to keep warm.
• Pour white wine, lemon juice, capers, and garlic into the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; cook at a boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle sauce over and around the chicken; garnish with parsley.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the capers and white wine and reduce by half. Whisk in the mustard, and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter and dollop with the creamy sauce.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
• Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
• To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE

• Place them in between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap or in a large plastic zip bag and gently pound them with a mallet until they are about a ½" thick. Set aside.
• Add the flour to a bowl and season very well with salt and pepper and mix together.
• Coat the chicken breasts on both sides in the flour and pat off any excess flour. Set on a plate.
• Add the olive oil to a large frying pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to very lightly smoke add in the chicken breasts and immediately turn the heat down to medium.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes or until browned and halfway cooked through and flip over.
• Turn the heat down to low and cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until cooked throughout.
• Remove the chicken breasts and set aside.
• Add the shallots and garlic to the pan where the chicken was cooked and saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until very lightly browned over low to medium heat.

• Finish with parsley, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and pepper and pour over the cooked chicken breasts and serve.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare chicken breasts: Lay the chicken between two large sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet or heavy sauté pan, pound each breast to a ½-inch thickness. Salt each breast liberally, sprinkling from a height to ensure even distribution, then season with pepper. Flip each breast and season the other side. If using mustard and tarragon, spread about 2 teaspoons of mustard and 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves on one side of each breast.Spread flour onto a dinner plate. Dredge breasts by coating them completely with flour, then shake off any excess. (They should be lightly dusted.) Set aside. Repeat with remaining breasts.
• Pan-fry chicken: Place skillet over high heat. While it's heating, trim, halve, and peel the shallot. When the skillet begins to smoke, add oil. When the oil begins smoking, gently place the chicken breasts in the pan in an even layer, so that they do not overlap. (You may need to work in batches if your skillet is smaller.) Allow them to cook undisturbed until they are nicely browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Do not move the chicken around while it cooks, or the crust will stick to the pan. Meanwhile, mince the shallot.After the first side is browned, flip the breasts and finish cooking, 2-3 minutes. (Depending on the strength of your range, you may need to turn the heat down so the flour doesn't burn.) When they are just cooked through and have only a little give when pressed with a finger, 6-8 minutes total, transfer them to a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
• Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced shallot and stir with a wooden spatula. Add the lemon wheels and a pinch of salt; stir, but do not flip the lemons (they'll caramelize better if left to cook on one side). Scrape up any bits of flour and fat at the bottom of the pan. Once the shallots are caramelized and the lemons have begun to brown, about 2-3 minutes, add the wine and stir. When about half the wine has cooked off, turn the heat to high. Add the butter to the pan one tablespoon at a time, shaking and moving the pan continuously until all the butter has melted and emulsified into the sauce. Add the capers, stir, and remove pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a platter, then spoon the sauce over each breast. Arrange lemon wheels on top and serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH WINE AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and fry for 10-12 mins on each side until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed plate, cover and keep warm.
• To make the sauce, add the wine and capers to the same pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins until the wine is reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and butter and stir in the parsley.
• Divide the chicken among four warmed plates, pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with rice.

CHICKEN WITH WINE AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put breasts on flat surface to remove peripheral fat or cartilage. Cut breasts in half and then into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

• Heat tablespoon of oil in nonstick skillet and when very hot add about half of chicken pieces without crowding. Cook, turning pieces so they cook evenly. Have tablespoon of butter heating in second skillet. When first batch has cooked for 3 minutes or until golden brown transfer to second skillet.
• Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in first skillet and when it is hot add second batch of chicken. Cook 3 minutes or until golden brown all over. Add to first batch of chicken pieces. Sprinkle with garlic and shallots and toss to blend.
