Easy Chicken Piccata

Directions

1. 1
   The first step is to pound your chicken breasts to a uniform thinness.
2. 2
   I put one breast at a time into a gallon zip bag and pound with a rolling pin.
3. 3
   Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and a little olive oil in a large saute pan.
4. 4
   Put a few spoonfuls of flour in the bag with one chicken piece, give it a shake to coat the chicken completely, then saute in the oil and butter for 3 minutes on each side.
5. 5
   Repeat with all of your chicken.
6. 6
   You will probably need to add a little more butter and olive oil with each piece.
7. 7
   Keep your chicken pieces covered on a plate nearby.
8. 8
   When all the chicken has been cooked and set aside, add chopped garlic, in an amount that you like, to the pan.
9. 9
   You may need to add a little more olive oil, again.
10. 10
    Saute for 2 minutes.
11. 11
    Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, whisk it all together, and simmer a few more minutes.
12. 12
    When your sauce starts to thicken, whisk in a little more butter.
13. 13
    Squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the sauce, add a tablespoon of capers, or more of each if you really love those ingredients.
14. 14
    Now add back your chicken pieces, and let them re-warm in the pan for a couple of minutes.
15. 15
    Serve over your choice of pasta, with a bit of sauce poured over each.
16. 16
    Sprinkle on some grated Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly cracked pepper, and salt to taste.
