LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE
This flavor-packed lemon chicken piccata comes together in 20 minutes! Chicken cutlets are seared in a bit of extra virgin olive oil, then simmered in a bright lemony sauce with capers. I use a little dry white wine in the piccata sauce, but if you do not use alcohol, substitute with an equal amount of chicken broth. Toss chicken piccata with pasta, or serve it with lemon rice, boiled potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, or a colorful Shirazi salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees F (this is to keep the chicken warm as you work in batches).
- Pat the chicken breast pieces dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Lightly coat the chicken on both sides with the flour (shake off any excess flour).
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Cook the chicken on 1 side for about 3 minutes, then turn over to cook for another 3 minutes (do this in batches and do not crowd the pan).To keep the chicken warm, place the cooked chicken pieces in an oven-save dish and keep them in warm oven while you finish.
- Prepare the lemon sauce. In the same skillet (over medium heat), add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil. Add the ghee (or butter, if you prefer). When the ghee melts, stir in the lemon juice, wine and capers. Bring the sauce to a boil, scrapping off any browned bits from cooking the chicken earlier.
- Now, return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Lower the heat, and let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, basting the top of the chicken with the sauce.
- Remove from the heat and garnish with parsley. Serve with plain orzo and your favorite salad (more suggested sides in post).

Steps:
- Pound the chicken breast until it is flat- about ¼" thick- don't be afraid to make it too thin. The point is that you want cook the chicken quickly before it drys out. On a plate mix some flour- maybe about ¼ cup or so- enough to coat the chicken. Salt and pepper the flour. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
- Use a skillet big enough for all the chicken to lay flat. Heat the skillet to med-high and lightly coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil.
- Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes a side(use your judgement here!) You will know when it is done- it is white, slightly golden- do not overcook or it will be dry. Since it is thin it should be fairly easy to tell if it is still pink.
- Take the chicken out of the pan and put on a plate- cover with foil.
- Pour enough white wine (I like a nice dry Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, or Pinot Grigio) so there is about 1/4" or more of liquid in the bottom of the pan. The goal here is to make enough sauce to generously to pour over each piece of chicken and you have to start with enough because you want to reduce it to burn off the alcohol. Make sure the pan is hot enough so that the liquid boils. This will only take a minute or so, keep and eye on it- you don't want to evaporate all of your liquid. Taste it- when it tastes good- the harsh alcohol has burned off, reduce heat to low, add the juice of one whole large juicy lemon that you have already squeezed. Add about 2 tablespoons of capers. Put the chicken back in pan to coat in sauce and to reheat. Serve immediately. Put a piece of chicken on each plate and pour lots of sauce on each piece. Yummy.

LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA
I love Lemon Piccata recipes. This one is made with Chicken but you can substitute Veal and works great. The original recipe came from the back of the Meyers Lemon Juice bottle that you get from William Sonoma.

EXTREME LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA
This is a recipe from Giada which I tweaked just a little bit. My family LOVES chicken piccata, but cannot seem to find a good version anytime we went to a restaurant. In the quest for a good tasting chicken piccata, I found this. It is amazing! You HAVE to use fresh lemon juice! I serve this over home made pasta.

Steps:
- Butterfly the chicken breasts, and then cut them into 2" x 4" (approximately) strips. Pound flat.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add enough pieces of chicken that will fit in a single layer in the pan and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes (or until it is completely cooked through). 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 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Continue cooking until all the chicken is cooked (you may need more butter and oil if the breasts are large). Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
- Into the pan add the lemon juice, 3/4c stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning (add more broth if you like less lemon flavor, we happen to like it VERY lemony). Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk vigorously (you can sprinkle flour at this point to thicken it a bit if needed, I like mine to be just thick enough to coat a spoon). Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a serving platter into the oven to warm.
- Season the chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour. Shake off excess flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet; pan-fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches and do not crowd skillet, adding oil as needed . Place the chicken pieces onto the warmed platter in the oven. When finished with all the chicken, drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the surface of the pan.
- Cook and stir the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth. Scrape and dissolve any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon slices and bring the mixture to a boil. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the lemon juice and capers; simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Drop the butter into the skillet and swirl it into the sauce by tilting the skillet until the butter is melted and incorporated. Add the parsley; remove from heat and set aside.
- Arrange the chicken medallions on serving plates and spoon sauce over each portion to serve.
