RECIPE 42

Chicken Piccata

      GRANNY SAYS: This piquant sauce is almost identical to that used in veal piccata, and I personally prefer this. The lemon slices and chopped green onions in the garnish make it so pretty that I frequently choose this as a dish to serve to guests.

     

1 small chopped onion 4 chopped green onions
8 boned chicken breasts 2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup flour 2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. cooking sherry 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. chopped capers 8 thin lemon slices
Parsley Salt and pepper to taste
Hot cooked rice  
  • Sauté all the onions in olive oil until just tender and set them aside.
  • Remove skin from chicken and pound them flat.
  • Flour the chicken and brown lightly in butter for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Add sauteed onions and increase the heat as you stir in sherry, lemon juice and capers. (If sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a little chicken stock.)
  • Garnish with sauce, lemon slices, and parsley.
  • Serve with rice.
