Chicken Piccata

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil more as needed
salt and black pepper to taste

Sauce
1/4 cup salted butter
1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock
1/2 lemon juiced, about 1-1/2 tablespoons
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley additional for garnish
shredded Parmesan cheese for garnish, optional

Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts in half lenthwise and, using a meat mallet, pound to ½-inch thick if needed.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cooked through (165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Whisk in the flour, scraping up any brown bits, and cook for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth after each addition.
Add lemon juice, white wine (or chicken stock), and capers. Simmer for 3 minutes, whisking occasionally.
Add the chicken back into the skillet, and simmer in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the chopped parsley and serve with linguini or angel hair pasta, mashed potatoes or rice.
