Chicken Piccata

Experience the zestful delight of this Chicken Piccata - a quick, savoury dish that brings together the tangy flavours of lemon and capers in a golden buttery sauce.

Ingredients 

• 2 chicken breasts
• 100g butter, cubed
• 50g baby capers
• Juice and zest of 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Step 1

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four equal pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 15g of butter in a large nonstick frypan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or until lightly golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining butter to the pan. Cook, stirring regularly, until the butter melts and turns golden. Add the capers and cook for 1-2 minutes, followed by the lemon juice and half the zest. Stir to combine, then return the chicken to the pan, along with any juices. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Divide amongst plates and serve with parsley and remaining lemon zest.
