CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE - COOKING LIGHT



Chicken Piccata Recipe - Cooking Light image

Easy for a weeknight but fancy enough for company, this classic Italian dish has proved a favorite year after year. The recipe uses half as much oil as traditional versions. The sauce picks up every bit of the delicious browned bits left in the pan and is just the right amount of lemony. The dish is versatile enough to go with many sides, such as whole-grain angel hair pasta, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or whole-wheat couscous.

Total Time 31 minutes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 ounces all-purpose flour, divided (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons drained capers
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Place 1 teaspoon flour in a small bowl, and place remaining flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour in shallow dish; shake off excess. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; sauté 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; sauté 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add wine; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until liquid almost evaporates, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup broth to reserved 1 teaspoon flour; stir until smooth. Add remaining 1/2 cup broth to pan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour mixture; cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, juice, and capers. Place 1 chicken breast half on each of 4 plates; top each serving with about 2 tablespoons sauce. Sprinkle each serving with about 2 teaspoons parsley.

HEALTHY CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE - LAURA IN THE KITCHEN
From laurainthekitchen.com
  • 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the parm and almond meal and set aside on a shallow plate. Season both sides of the chicken with some salt and pepper then lightly dredge in the parm mixture and let the them rest for a few minutes. 2) Add the olive oil and butter into a medium size non-stick skillet and allow it to preheat over medium heat, then add the chicken breasts and let them sear on both sides just for a couple of minutes (keep an eye on it because almond meal burns so they won?t be cooked through) place them on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 8 minutes to finish cooking them through. 3) Add the wine, stock, capers and lemon juice in the same skillet and cook over medium high heat until it reduces by half, finish with some fresh parsley and drizzle over the chicken.
