Chicken Scaloppine with Piccata Sauce

Makes 8 servings
chinachina

ingredients

  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup homemade chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

directions

  • 1

    Cut each piece of chicken in half horizontally and place each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound to 1/4-inch thickness.

  • 2

    Place flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly coat chicken pieces with seasoned flour, tapping to remove excess.

  • 3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over high heat, until hot but not smoking. Brown chicken in batches, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.

  • 4

    Remove any excess fat from the skillet and discard. Add wine, chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Cook over high heat until simmering and slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and swirl skillet to melt. Pour sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
