Whole Foods Recipe: Chicken Piccata

 

 

WHOLE FOODS CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE!

 

Serves 4

Thin chicken cutlets cook quickly and evenly, making this recipe a fast weeknight option. A pan sauce of lemon juice, white wine, capers and parsley adds vibrant flavor. Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.

 

 

Ingredients: 

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup capers
• 1/2 cup pinot grigio or other dry white wine
• 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Method: 

Place chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of parchment, waxed paper or plastic wrap. With a mallet or rolling pin, gently pound cutlets to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Zest and juice the lemon.

In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine flour, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in flour, coat all sides and shake off excess. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add olive oil and tilt pan until a thin layer covers the bottom. Place chicken in hot oil and cook 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.

Return pan to medium high heat, add capers and cook for 1 minute until brown on edges and slightly plumped. Add wine and chicken broth and bring to a brisk simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until volume is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Divide chicken among plates. Top with capers and drizzle with sauce.


This recipe was easy and the chicken turned out awesome! Super yummy! My whole family loved it and gobbled it down. I added some steamed veggies as a side along with potatoes roasted in olive oil, garlic, rosemary and salt/pepper.  This recipe is definitely going in my recipe box and will make it again!
