Chicken Piccata [0001081]

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken broth (gluten-free)
1/4 cup capers, drained
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Dredge the chicken breasts in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, heating the chicken through.

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of the chicken piccata.

Serve your Gluten-Free Chicken Piccata hot, with the delicious lemon-caper sauce spooned over the chicken. Enjoy this classic Italian dish!
