Creamy Chicken PiccataIngredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 1/2 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup sliced lemon 1/2 cup capers 1/2 cup white wine (optional) 1 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Fresh parsley, for garnishInstructions:
1.
Season the chicken:
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
2.
Sear the chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3.
Add the lemon and capers:
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the lemon slices and capers to the pan.
Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.
Deglaze the pan with wine:
If using, add the white wine to the pan and bring to a boil.
Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
5.
Simmer in broth:
Add the chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6.
Create the creamy sauce:
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
Cook for a few more minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
7.
Taste and season:
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed with salt and pepper.
8.
Serve:
Transfer the chicken and creamy sauce to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips:
For a crispier texture, double coat the chicken in the seasoned flour before searing.
If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute with extra chicken broth.
Serve the creamy chicken piccata over pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
