Home Made Chicken Piccata

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
2. Cook Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices if desired. Serve the chicken piccata over a bed of cooked whole grains or vegetables.
