CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness

salt and fresh ground black pepper as needed

cayenne to taste

all-purpose flour for dredging

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon capers, drained (tip: for more intense flavor, mince 1 teaspoon of the capers, leaving the rest whole)

1/2 cup white wine

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup water or chicken stock

3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-in slices

2 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Tenderize the chicken using a mallet.

Season cutlets with salt and pepper & cover with flour. 

Heat olive oil and brown the chicken for about 4-5 min per side.  

Remove chicken and keep warm in oven or microwave.

Place capers in pan and crush ½ of the capers.  Cook in pan for around 30 sec.  Add white wine, I use cooking white wine & cook for about 2 min, reducing the liquid by half.  Add lemon juice and water or chicken stock, and butter. Reduce heat, add parsley then add chicken to heat.  

ENJOY!!
