Healthy Chicken and Turkey Recipes - Chicken Piccata Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 dove garlic, crushed

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or the juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1/2 cup dry white wine

• 1 tablespoon capers, chopped

• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Serves 4

---

Method:

1. Place a chicken breast in a large, heavy, zipper-lock bag and, using a hammer, meat tenderizer, or what-have-you, pound it until it's 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; if it doesn't all fit at the same time, cook it in two batches, keeping the first batch warm while the second batch is cooking. Cook the chicken until it's done through (3 to 4 minutes per side).

3. Remove the chicken from the pan. Add the garlic, lemon juice, white wine, and capers to the pan, stirring it all around to get the tasty little brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Boil the whole thing hard for about 1 minute, to reduce it a little.

4. Put the chicken back in the pan for another minute, sprinkle the parsley over it, and serve.
