Chicken Thigh Piccata With Broccoli Rabe Recipes

CREAMY CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in 4 tablespoons flour until evenly coated. Heat canola oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Reduce heat to medium low. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken stock, wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, parsley and capers; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN THIGH PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken pieces, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a sheet tray. Place the chicken in the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place the saute pan back on the heat over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the butter along with the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook until the garlic softens and becomes aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the white wine and reduce slightly, 2 to 3 minutes, before adding the chicken stock.
• Bring the liquid to a strong simmer, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the capers and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the parsley. Place the chicken pieces back in the pan or plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top.
