Chicken Piccata
from Ina Garten
2 split (1 whole) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 extra-large egg
1/2 tablespoon water
3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs (whole wheat)
Good olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons), lemon halves reserved
1/2 cup dry white wine (I used white grape juice)
Sliced lemon, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2 tablespoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs on a third plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb mixtures.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place them on the sheet pan and allow them to bake for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the sauce.
For the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and then add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to combine. Discard the lemon halves and serve 1 chicken breast on each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
Call me old fashioned, but I think there is something really fun about making a dinner that the hubs loves. I'm glad that your hubs loved the chicken piccata even as a "steak man." We thought this was great too! I went a little too heavy on the lemon, but that is easily fixed next time around. Yours looks beautiful! Oh, and I love how this one doesn't require a special grocery run!
ReplyDeleteI love the dynamic between Jeffrey and Ina too- they are a very adorable couple. I'm glad you enjoyed this as well, thanks for participating this round- yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed this one too. Yours looks really good. Your right, it does have ingredients I almost always have one hand.
ReplyDeleteChicken piccata is a favorite of mine. Yours looks great. I also love watching Ina...I've become a new fan of hers!
ReplyDeleteIna & Jeffrey are cute together! This looks delicious! I really need to try this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI love making things that my honey loves. It makes making dinner worth it... you know?

Ina and Jeffrey are the best..so cute.
ReplyDeleteLoved this recipe, one of my new faves!! Yours looks delicious Anne!!
This certainly looks delicious! No wonder your steak-loving husband loved it! It sounds so god. I may just have to make this one myself ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI love making dinners just for my husband. Isn't it just the best. I think he would love this one!
ReplyDeleteAnne, I love how you always tie in your post to the show and the interaction between Jeffrey and Ina. And I agree with Cathy, I still get a thrill from making something M. loves. He' eats everything I make, never a complaint, but when he wolfs a dinner down like he did this one, it gives me a warm fuzzy. Your chicken looks terrific! Love the lemon!
ReplyDeleteMy Jeffrey is a total carnivore, but we wind up eating chicken most of the time, so that he's not grabbing his chest like Fred Sanford.
ReplyDeleteI love watching Jeffrey and Ina. Those kids ... ;)
This looks awesome! I've never had chicken piccata, but i must!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love Jeffrey? He and Ina are way too cute. Your chicken looks amazing! It's making me very hungry...
ReplyDeleteYours look beautiful!! Can't wait to cook up your pick. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, that looks delicious with all those veggies!
ReplyDeleteYour pic looks beautiful! I am a HUGE fan of chicken and lemon, in any combination.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Jeffrey and Ina. The two of them together are just adorable!
Your chicken looks great. Jeffrey has a pretty good thing going...all that yummy food!
ReplyDeleteThat description of Ina and Jeffrey is spot on! This was a good recipe pick!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jeffery ever says, "Whoa, honey, you put a little too much lemon is this sauce!"? Oh, no, that was at my house.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to do a little tasting and adjusting next time!
I think I love chicken as much as Jeffrey. Your pic looks lovely - it is a bonus when you don't have to search high and low for ingredients.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty picture!
