SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Sautéed Chicken with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Wow yourself and your family when you bring this dish to the table in under 20 minutes. It's complex flavors are Italian-inspired and fresh enough for any time of year. It's brilliant foil is the absence of salt, which it doesn't need because the briny capers and lemon juice pair with the chicken broth to make a sauce that has all the flavor it needs! Serve over a bed of wilted Swiss chard for spinach and some brown rice or pasta, anything to soak up the delicious juices. So pretty in the pan, this dish is nice enough for a dinner party and fast enough for your smallest weeknight dinner window.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken With Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Found this recipe in April 2008 "Taste of Home" Magazine, tried it and loved it. Fairly simple to make, attractive presentation and wonderful blend of flavors with a just a hint of garlic and a wonderful citrus flavor. There are other similar recipes here, but this one is a little differant and my family really loved it. I served w/steamed white rice and spooned the extra sauce over that and it made for a lovely dinner.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

A rich chicken dish, perfect for a special meal.

Provided by ALISSASMOM

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

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.

Add to that on the WW Point Plus program it's only 5 points and you have a winner IMHO! Even DH who swears he doesn't like anything "lite" enjoyed this one, hope you do too.
