Chicken Piccata with Lemon Caper Sauce

                Ingredients                       Yield: 4 portions
  • 140g (2 1/2c) Parmesan, grated
  • 4                   Eggs
  • 4 breasts       Chicken, boneless and skinless
  • 75g (1/2c)     Flour
  • 40g (1/4c)     Butter, frozen and cubed
  • 250ml (1c)    White Wine
  • 1                  Lemon, juiced and zested
  • 30g (3Tbsp)  Capers, drained
  • 5g (1Tbsp)    Fresh Parsley, chopped
                Instructions
  1. Whisk eggs and Parmesan together in a bowl. Let sit in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Butterfly (to split breast in half by cutting horizantally, making a top and bottom piece) chicken breasts, and pound to a uniform thickness.
  3. In a saucepan reduce white wine on high heat by at least a half to two-thirds.
  4. Once reduced add lemon, capers, and dried parsley if fresh was unavailable.
  5. In a frying pan on medium-high heat, add 30ml of oil. Also set up a station so you can dredge the chicken in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and go straight into the frying pan.
  6. Dredge chicken in flour, shake off excess. Dip into the egg mixture and drop into frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  7. Once the sides of the coating turns golden brown, it should be time to flip. Cook until well done.
  8. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel if desired.
  9. To finish sauce, whisk in cold butter one cube at a time until each one is incorporated. Season to taste and serve atop the chicken!
