If any oil is left in the pan, discard it. Cook until browned at the bottom then turn over and cook until browned on the other side and cooked through (you can cut the chicken in its thickest part to check if it’s white and not pink or measure the temperature with an instant-read thermometer, it should be 165☏ or 74☌). When hot add the chicken (if all the cutlets won’t fit in your pan, cook them in two batches). STEP 3: Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Dredge in flour on all sides, shake off excess flour. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Pound them slightly in their thicker part so that they cook more evenly (and quicker), don’t pound them too thinly, just until they are more or less of even thickness. STEP 2: Prepare chicken breasts: Cut chicken breasts horizontally in half so you have 4 thinner cutlets. STEP 1: Prepare the ingredients: finely chop shallots, finely chop garlic (with a knife and not a garlic press), roughly chop capers (just a little bit, you can also leave them whole if that’s what you prefer), zest and juice the lemon, finely chop parsley. why so many types of fat – high smoking point vegetable oil is used to cook chicken over high heat without the risk of burning (but has no flavor), olive oil is using to cook shallots over low heat – it adds flavor and won’t burn over very low heat, butter is used to flavor and thicken the sauce (it’s very important to use cold butter and whisk it into the sauce, do not melt the butter first – the sauce will come out greasy!).for the sauce: dry white wine (substitute with more chicken broth and more lemon juice to taste if you don’t want to use it, wine adds flavor and acidity to the sauce), chicken broth, lemon zest and lemon juice (freshly squeezed!), capers (a must for a chicken piccata, they are the star of this sauce! although the sauce will also be good without them), shallots (can be omitted, if using regular onions instead, you need to cook them longer), fresh garlic, fresh parsley, butter.this dish comes out saucy – we love the extra sauce for the mashed potatoes or egg noodles, but if you’d like it less saucy, you can use 3 chicken breasts instead of 2.for the chicken: chicken breast + flour to dredge the chicken – don’t omit using flour, it makes the outside of chicken crispy and the meat inside incredibly tender.Here’s what you need for this easy recipe: For the measurements and detailed instructions scroll down to the printable recipe card.
