Sbd Lemoncaper Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
• Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
• To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

15 MINUTE LEMON CAPER CHICKEN BREASTS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Carefully cut the chicken breasts in half through the middle so they are thinner and don't dry out during cooking. Season them well with sea salt and pepper.
• Get a large skillet or frying pan nice and hot over a high heat. Add the olive oil, turn the heat down to medium and sear the chicken on one side for between 3-4 minutes, until it turns a nice golden brown.
• Turn and cook the other side for between 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. You may need to do this in batches so the pan isn't overcrowded. The meat should no longer be pink inside (or if you're using a thermometer, the meat should register 165ºF)
• Remove the chicken from the pan, cover and set aside to rest.
• Make the sauce by deglazing the hot pan with the chicken stock. Add the stock to the hot pan and use your spatula to scrape any tasty bits stuck on the pan into the stock.
• Add the crushed garlic, lemon juice and the butter and let it bubble while the flavors come together.
• Stir through the capers then add the chicken back to the pan and allow to reheat for a moment or two.
• Garnish with the chopped parsley and lemon slices and serve!
