Chicken Piccata
● 1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch
● 2 pinches of sea salt
● Pepper to taste
● 2 garlic cloves, minced
● 2 (approximately 6 ounces) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
● 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
● ¼ cup dry white wine, such as Papagni Chardonnay
● ¼ cup lemon juice
● ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
● 2 tablespoons capers, drained
● 2 lemon wedges
Directions
1. Mix together cornstarch and salt and pepper add minced garlic in a medium dish or
resealable plastic bag. Coat chicken in either a cornstarch or in flour mixture; shake off
excess.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until golden
brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Pour white wine into the skillet;
allow to boil while scraping the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add lemon juice;
boil until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Sprinkle cubed butter into boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously until butter
is completely incorporated and sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in capers.
4. Pour lemon-caper sauce over chicken; serve with lemon wedges.
