CHICKEN PICCATA (EASY RECIPE)

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

• Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to melt any remaining browned bits of food. Stir in the lemon and reduce heat to low. Cook the sauce, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
• Add the capers and chicken. Toss the chicken to coat.
• Place the chicken in a serving dish. Top with sauce and garnish with lemon slices and parsley. Enjoy!

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH LEMON BUTTER CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour (1/4 cup), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
• Dredge each chicken breast cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing the flour into the surface of the chicken so it's completely coated, and gently shaking off any excess flour. Set on a plate or cutting board as you work to coat them all.
• Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the dredged chicken cutlets to the skillet. Cook for three minutes, then flip and cook for another three minutes (or until browned and fully cooked). Remove to a plate.
• Add the white wine (1/2 cup) or chicken stock, lemon zest and juice, and capers (2 tablespoons) to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow to simmer until liquid has reduced by about half, stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes.
• Turn the heat to low and add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, stirring until it's completely melted in. Add the chicken back into the skillet and heat just for a minute or so until it absorbs a bit of the sauce and is heated up again.
• Serve with sauce spooned over the chicken.

Steps:

• Set 3 wide, shallow bowls on a work surface. Add flour to the first one, beaten eggs to the second, and panko and Parmesan cheese to the third. Mix panko and Parmesan thoroughly.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper. Working with one at a time, dredge a cutlet in flour with your left hand, shaking off excess. Transfer to egg dish, then turn cutlet with your right hand to coat both sides. Lift and allow excess egg to drain off, then transfer to bread crumb mixture. With your left hand, scoop bread crumbs on top of chicken, then gently press, turning chicken to ensure a good layer of crumbs on both sides. Transfer cutlet to prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining cutlets.

CHICKEN PICCATA (FRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH LEMON-BUTTER PAN SAUCE) RECIPE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Set three wide, shallow bowls on a work surface. Add flour to the first one, beaten eggs to the second, and panko and Parmesan cheese to the third. Mix panko and Parmesan thoroughly. 2. Line a rimmed baking dish with parchment paper. Season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper. Working with one at a time, dredge a cutlet in flour with your left hand, shaking off excess. Transfer to egg dish, then turn cutlet with your right hand to coat both sides. Lift and allow excess egg to drain off, then transfer to bread crumb mixture. With your left hand, scoop bread crumbs on top of chicken, then gently press, turning chicken to ensure a good layer of crumbs on both sides. Transfer cutlet to prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining cutlets. 3. Fill a large skillet with 1/4 inch oil. Heat over high heat until shimmering and just shy of smoking, about 375°F on an instant-read thermometer. 4. Working in batches and using tongs or your fingers, gently lower cutlets into the pan, laying them down away from you to prevent hot fat from splashing toward you. Fry, gently swirling pan and rotating cutlets for even browning, and adjusting heat as necessary for a steady, vigorous bubble, until bottom side is browned and crisp, about three minutes. Flip cutlets and fry until other side is browned and crisp, about three minutes longer. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt right away. Repeat with remaining cutlets, topping up oil if necessary. 5. Drain all but one tablespoon oil from skillet. Add wine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cooking until raw alcohol smell has mostly cooked off, about two minutes. Add capers and butter, whisking constantly, until butter has melted. Lower heat to medium and continue whisking and reducing until a creamy, emulsified sauce forms (the time this takes will depend on your burner power and the size of your pan). If sauce over-reduces and breaks at any point, add one tablespoon cold water and whisk to emulsify it again. Whisk in lemon juice and parsley, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat. 6. Arrange cutlets on a platter and drizzle warm butter sauce all over. Serve right away.

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH BUTTERY LEMON NOODLES

Steps:

• For the buttery lemon noodles: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
• For the chicken piccata: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in the flour.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side; fry them a little longer if the breasts are thicker, monitoring the oil/butter mixture to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the skillet and saute. Pour in the chicken broth and wine, and squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Whisk the sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Allow the sauce to cook and bubble and thicken until reduced by about half. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper as it's cooking.
• Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cream. Add the capers, then cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Expect the sauce to have a real tang to it; counter it with a little more broth and cream if it's too strong!
• To finish the noodles, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the cooked pasta, along with the parsley. Cook it in the butter for a couple of minutes so that a few of the noodles get a little bit of a pan-fried texture to them. Grate in some lemon zest and squeeze in some lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place a handful of arugula on each plate, some noodles and a chicken breast. Garnish with Parmesan shavings and chopped parsley, then spoon over the sauce.
