Lemon Chicken Breast Piccata

Charmaine Lu -

  • 2 chicken breasts, skin removed
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • 1 lemon, ½ sliced, ½ zest and juice
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • ½ bunch of parsley, chopped
  • Cooked rice, to serve
  • Slice the chicken breasts lengthways in the middle, opening them up like a book. Place between 2 pieces of film and bash until 1cm thick. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and fry the flattened breasts for 4 mins on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Season and set aside to rest.
  • Add the garlic and capers to the pan with the lemon juice, zest and chicken stock. Simmer for 5 mins to thicken the sauce, then return the chicken to the pan with the sliced lemon and parsley. Spoon the sauce over the meat, then serve with cooked rice.
