Chicken Piccata

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g leeks, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp seasoned flour
  • 400g chicken breast mini fillets
  • 200ml hot chicken stock
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 tsp capers, chopped
  • 10g chopped parsley
  • Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a frying pan and fry the leeks with a pinch of salt for 5 mins. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, tip the flour onto a plate and toss with the chicken mini fillets to coat. Fry the chicken in the remaining oil for 3 mins on each side, or until golden brown.
  • Mix the stock, lemon juice and zest, and capers in a jug. Reduce the heat in the chicken pan and add the stock mixture, then bring to a low simmer. Cook for 5-7 mins to thicken the sauce and ensure the chicken is cooked through, then add the leeks and parsley to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 2 mins more, then serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
