Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
Instructions
Begin by placing each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the capers and half of the chopped parsley.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top, allowing it to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the chicken before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Chicken Piccata with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
