- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com
and today we're gonna make an easy chicken picatta .
It sounds fancy but it's not.
It's so simple, comes together in one pan,
has really simple ingredients,
but the flavors are phenomenal.
It has a light lemon cream sauce.
The chicken is so juicy.
This might just become your new favorite chicken recipe.
Start by slicing three chicken breasts in half lengthwise
so you end up with six cutlets.
(uplifting music)
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
(uplifting music)
Now pour half a cup of all purpose flour
into a shallow dish and dip both sides of the chicken,
shaking off the excess flour.
(uplifting music)
Once that's done, place a large skillet
over medium high heat.
Add two tablespoons of olive oil
and two tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter melts and is sizzling,
you can add the chicken.
Saute two to four minutes per side
depending on how thick your chicken is.
It should be golden and cooked through.
Transfer your cooked chicken to a serving platter.
Then add another tablespoon of oil
and another tablespoon of butter
and the remaining chicken.
Once the last cutlet is out of the pan
without reducing the heat,
add half a cup of wine, one tablespoon of butter,
a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice
and 1/4 cup of rinsed capers.
Let it simmer for a minute
and then roll all of your chicken cutlets in the sauce.
This will make every bite of your chicken super flavorful.
Remove you chicken pieces,
then let the sauce simmer for another couple minutes
until it's slightly thickened.
Pour every drop of that yummy sauce onto your chicken.
Top with fresh lemon slices and parsley,
and that's it.
Uh, yum.
I can tell you my kitchen smells amazing.
Now we have to do a taste test, of course,
otherwise that would be ridiculous.
Let's pick a big one.
Juicy.
Here we go.
That is a big one.
I'll be chewing for a while.
Mmm.
Wow.
I love lemony chicken.
The flavors come together so well.
It's tender, juicy and totally fresh
with the lemon and capers.
