When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter and add another 2 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
- Into the pan add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning.

Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.
CHICKEN PICCATA SERVED OVER FRESH BABY SPINACH
Piccata is usually made with thinly sliced, sautéed veal scaloppini. This recipe, made with flattened scaloppini of chicken, is just as good and is simple to make. The zesty combination of lemon, white wine and capers compliment the earthy spinach and fresh parmesan flavours.Serve with a salad and a side of pasta and you have a delicious light meal.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap or in a plastic bag and flatten each breast, one at a time, to ½ inch (1.25 cm) thickness. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound thin. Set aside.
- Sprinkle flour, parmesan cheese and white pepper over a plate. Use a fork to mix well.
- Dredge breasts in flour, one a time, and shake off any excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. When butter just begins to brown, add chicken breast scaloppini. Depending on the size of your pan you may have to cook in two batches.
- Cook on one side until lightly brown - approximately 3 minutes. Turn breasts over and cook another 3 minutes or until browned and cooked through and chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Place breasts on a plate. Cover and keep warm.
- Add white wine and fresh lemon juice to skillet. Reduce, scraping up browned bits, until you have reduced by half. Stir in fresh lemon peel (zest), chicken broth and drained capers. Add chicken back to the pan for a minute or two to warm and soak up the flavours.
- To serve, spread dinner plate with a bed of fresh spinach. Top with sautéed chicken and drizzle sauce over. Garnish each plate with chopped fresh parsley and shaved parmesan cheese

WARM CHOPPED CHICKEN PICCATA SPINACH SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat your largest nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan, over medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it rest and cool.
- Wrap the rolls in foil and place in the oven to warm.
- To the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO, once around the pan, and the butter. Melt the butter into the EVOO and add the shallots, garlic, and capers. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add the white wine and reduce for 30 seconds. Next, add the lemon juice and immediately add the spinach-mound it up in the pan. You will not be able to fit it all in there at first; just keep turning the spinach and wilting it down until you get it all in, then turn the heat off. Keep some leaves a bit crisp to vary the textures in your salad. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. Chop the chicken into little bits, then add to the warm salad and toss to distribute. Divide the salad among the plates and garnish it with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve with a warm roll for mopping.
