Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless skinless chicken breast | 1 |
| Flour | 1/4 cup |
| Butter | 4 tbsp |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| White wine | 1/2 cup |
| Lemon juice | 4 tbsp |
| Fresh parsley | 1/4 cup |
| Capers | 1 tbsp |
| Water | 1 cup |
| Chicken bouillon cube | 1 |
Instructions:
-
Coat the Chicken: Begin by coating the boneless, skinless chicken breast with flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated for a golden exterior when cooked.
-
Prepare the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, infusing the butter with aromatic flavor.
-
Sear the Chicken: Carefully add the flour-coated chicken breast to the skillet. Sear each side until lightly browned and tender, ensuring it’s cooked through.
-
Create the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in water and add it to the skillet, creating a flavorful sauce.
-
Simmer the Sauce: Allow the sauce to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened, intensifying the flavors.
-
Add Final Touches: Stir in the capers and freshly chopped parsley, infusing the dish with briny notes and vibrant color.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chicken piccata alongside a bed of fragrant Jasmine Rice, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of freshness, garnish with a slice of lemon and additional chopped parsley before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the skillet and simmer until desired consistency is reached.
- Pair this dish with a crisp white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for a delightful dining experience.
