Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh Lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 1/4 cup briny capers, rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Butterfly each chicken breast on a cutting board, slicing it through so you are left with four thin pieces of chicken breast.
- Salt and pepper each piece of chicken generously. Add the gluten-free flour to a shallow
bowl, then place each piece of chicken into the bowl and coat thoroughly with the flour. - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add three tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. Let the butter and olive oil melt together.
- Once the butter and olive oil are melted and bubbling, add the coated chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown on each side and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on how thick your chicken breasts are.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a large plate.
- Add the lemon juice, chicken stock, capers, and the last two tablespoons of butter to the pan. Scrape all the brown bits left over from the cooked chicken in the bottom of the pan and mix it well with the sauce ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan with the sauce and baste it in the piccata sauce. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken. Serve with rice, and enjoy!
Notes
