Ingredients

1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)

1/3 cup(s) all purpose flour

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp table salt

2 tsp olive oil

1/2 cup(s) fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup(s) Regina Sauterne Cooking Wine

1/2 cup(s) fresh lemon juice, divided

1 Tbsp light butter

1 Tbsp fresh parsley

1 Tbsp capers, drained

Instructions

Trim fat and pound chicken breasts flat; or slice crosswise in half. Mix flour, salt and pepper and put on plate or in plastic bag. Place 1/4 cup of lemon juice in a bowl; dip chicken into lemon juice and then dredge in seasoned flour. Heat oil in pan and cook chicken on both sides until golden and cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and set aside; keep warm. Deglaze pan with white wine, stirring to remove browned pieces. Add broth and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until reduced and slightly thickened. Swirl in butter and drained capers. Serve sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley before serving. Leftover sauce is great over steamed broccoli or green beans. (Note: I rarely measure spices exactly, so adjust for taste.)

Made piccata tonight for dinner and it was wonderful - not overly filling while still quite rich. I served it over brown/wild rice with sugar snap peas. Thanks - I'll use this recipe again!!

Very good, but I would use any good dry white wine, add a diced shallot when I add the broth/lemon to the pan, and I toss the chicken back in the pan to coat it before serving.
