DINNERPLANNER'S CHICKEN PICCATA
1-1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken
breasts
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 egg
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. butter, divided
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 tsp. minced garlic
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley
3/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp. capers, rinsed
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Split chicken breasts by cutting chicken on the diagonal with a sharp
knife. In a shallow bowl, whip egg and water
together. On a paper plate mix together flour, garlic powder, salt and
pepper and place. Dip chicken pieces in egg then dredge in flour mixture
making sure to coat both sides. Let chicken sit for about 10 minutes.
Heat 1 Tbsp. butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
chicken, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until well browned. Cover,
reduce heat and let cook for an additional minute. Remove chicken to a
plate and cover to keep warm.
Using the same skillet, melt 2 Tbsp. butter over low heat. Add capers and
garlic, cook gently for about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice,
parsley, and salt to the skillet. Bring mixture to a light boil; reduce
heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Stir in milk and cheese. Continue to
simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
* Thicken sauce by mixing 1 tsp. of flour with 2 tsp. milk. Add mixture to
the simmering sauce and stir.
