Chicken Picatta
Ingredients:
4 skinless chicken breasts, pounded flat (An easy way: place chicken between
two wax paper sheets)
Flour to coat
1 T olive oil
1/4 cup drinking sherry or dry white wine
1 small onion, minced
Juice of 1 lemon, no seeds!
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup Italian parsley
3 T capers
Salt and Pepper
Preparation
Coat the chicken in flour and shake off excess.
Heat the olive oil in sauté pan over medium high heat.
Sauté the chicken about two minutes on each side, just until
it is browned on the outside.
Add the wine or sherry to deglaze the pan, and scrape the
browned bits off the bottom of the pan and it will be an integral part of
the chicken picatta.
Add garlic and onions. Sauté for approximately three
minutes.
Add the lemon juice, pepper, butter, chicken broth and
capers, and sauté for approximately two minutes.
Add the chicken back in and sauté until the chicken is done,
about five minutes.
Makes about 4 servings
