Description

The way I like to make chicken piccata, a little lighter than the usual, but just as flavorful. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Halved Lengthwise
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • ½ cups White Wine
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 whole Lemon
  • ½ pounds Whole Wheat Linguine
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley

Preparation

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Then dredge in flour.

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and fry about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.

Pour wine, chicken broth and juice of the lemon on top of the chicken and stir gently around the chicken to combine liquid. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking for 20 minutes or until juices run clear.

While chicken is cooking, bring water to a boil in a large pot and cook spaghetti according to package directions.

Serve chicken breasts alongside a mound of pasta with sauce spooned over both and then parsley sprinkled on top.

I made this lat night for a dinner party. It was amazing and so easy. The chicken was perfectly moist and delicious. The sauce, which I did add a little more lemon to, was wonderful. I got rave reviews on this one, def will make it again!!

I made this the other night for dinner. I had trouble getting the sauce to “reduce” so I ended up having to add some flour to thicken it a bit. Overall, my family enjoyed it and I would make it again.
