Chicken Piccata


Many of you might have noticed the ingredients aren’t classic.  I added capers and cream to the sauce, but hey, it works.  Give it a try.  If you can’t handle too much lemon juice, then you can reduce the amount to ½ cup of lemon juice.  All the ingredients are just stuff we usually have ready in the refrigerator, so easy to make.  Enjoy. 

A Ingredients
Chicken cutlet              4 pieces
Salt and pepper               to taste

B Ingredients
All purpose flour             ½ cup
Salt                                  ½ teaspoon
Ground black pepper       ½ teaspoon

C Ingredients
Egg                           1 piece
Water                       1 ½ teaspoon

D Ingredients
Breadcrumbs                 1 cup
Olive oil                         1 tablespoon

E Ingredients
Unsalted butter                  2 tablespoon
Lemon juice                      2/3 cup
White wine                         1 cup
Capers                                1 tablespoon
Juiced lemon wedges         4 pieces
Sugar                                  1 teaspoon
Ground black pepper       ½ teaspoon

F Ingredients
Unsalted butter                 2 tablespoon
Heavy whipping cream    ¼ cup
Minced parsley                 2 tablespoon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the thinly sliced chicken in between two pieces of parchment paper, beat the thicker parts with a meat hammer or rolling pin, so the chicken cooks evenly later.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Mix B, C, D, ingredients separately, place in 3 different shallow dishes to make a dipping station.
3. Heat up the olive oil in a skillet.  Dip both the chicken into the flour, then into the egg wash, then into the breadcrumbs, place into the hot skillet to cook till golden brown n both sides, then place on a foil lined baking sheet, bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
4. Place the E Ingredients into a small sauce pan, cook until reduced to half and thicken, remove from heat, add the unsalted butter and heavy whipping cream, pour about ¼ cup onto the bottom of the plate, place a chicken steak onto the sauce, sprinkle with some minced parsley, serve with some angel hair pasta.  

Serving: 4
