Chicken Piccata serves 2

Multitask some pasta or potatoes of your choice while you do the chicken.

4-8 chicken tenders
1/4 cup flour
salt & pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. butter


For The Sauce:

1/3 Cup white wine
juice from ½ lemon and the peel!
1/4 Cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. capers
1 1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley or 4 Tbsp. chopped fresh if available
Salt & Pepper

preheat oven to 200 degrees


Mix the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken tenders in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy frying pan, and add the chicken tenders to the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side over medium heat, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate. Keep the chicken warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.

Add the wine to the pan and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Add the lemon juice (and throw in the peel) and chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the butter and using a whisk blend it into the sauce. Add the capers and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return all of the cooked chicken to the frying pan, and heat in the sauce.

SERVE IT UP!!!! With some pasta or potatoes, salad and some good Italian bread and the rest of that wine!
