Italian Chicken - Recpie Book

 

Italian cuisine is known for its delicious flavors, and Italian chicken dishes are no exception. Here's a classic Italian chicken recipe for "Chicken Piccata," which features tender chicken breasts cooked in a lemony, buttery sauce with capers. It's a delightful dish that combines savory and tangy flavors:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Piccata Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup brined capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
    • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
    • Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
    • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

  3. Prepare the Piccata Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
    • Pour in the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
    • Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.
    • Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.

  4. Serve:

    • Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the piccata sauce, turning them to coat in the sauce.
    • Allow the chicken to heat through in the sauce for about 2 minutes.
    • Serve the chicken piccata hot, spooning the sauce over the top.

Chicken piccata is traditionally served with pasta or a side of vegetables. You can garnish it with extra chopped parsley and lemon slices for a fresh, vibrant presentation. Enjoy your homemade Italian chicken piccata!
