Lemony and salty, creamy and delicious!
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt & Pepper
4 T flour
4 T olive oil
5 T butter
1 can chicken broth
1 cup white wine
2 lemons
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup capers
Chopped parsley
Angel Hair Pasta
Start by rinsing the chicken and sprinkling with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
dredge in flour
Heat 2 T butter and 2 T oil in a large skillet
add the chicken and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes on each side
remove the chicken from the pan and lower the heat, pour in the wine, chicken broth and the juice of the two lemons
add a little more salt and pepper to taste, and let it bubble on the stove, whisking and scraping the bottom of the pan until it reduces by about half.
add capers
Reduce the heat and add the cream
Cook the angel hair until al dente and serve next to the chicken with some of the lovely creamy sauce on top, sprinkle the whole thing with the chopped parsley..
I served it with a glass of L’Ecole Chenin Blanc and some grilled asparagus…
easy peasy!

I’m rather new to capers, but think I like them. They make a nice addition to your photo – and probably to your taste buds!

Is that Asparagus there on the side? Love seasonal recipes especially when they contain lemon.

My mouth is sooooo watering right now! I will make this for Rod when I get home!

Richard: I would up the lemon a bit and use chicken broth in place of the wine. If you can’t find capers, add a little extra salt.

Chicken Piccata is one of my absolute favorite dishes!
I’ve substituted green olives in a pinch for capers.
This is such a classically yummy recipe…I’d like to be sitting looking at your mountains and sharing this recipe with you!
Thanks for linking.
