Best Pollo Piccata Recipes

PICCATA DI POLLO AL LIMONE

Steps:

• Place two dinner plates and a warming tray in a 200 degree heated oven. Prepare boiled water with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for the pasta. (Add pasta to water when chicken is being browned)
• Butterfly cut the chicken breasts in half and lightly pound with a tenderizing kitchen tool on both sides until thinned out.
• Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. (I prefer avocado oil as it has a higher smoke/flash point) Either works well. (Do NOT use vegetable cooking oil. It will not taste the same).
• While the oil is heating, combine flour, sea salt, and ground pepper into an average bowl or deep plate.
• Use the flour mixture to dust the chicken fillets on both sides completely. Do not shake off excess as this will be needed in the sauce later.
• Place the chicken fillets in a frying pan that is large enough that doesn't crowd the pieces. Cook for about 7 minutes or until lightly browned, turning the fillets several times. DO NOT overcook.
• Remove chicken fillets from the pan allowing them to drip free of excess oil before placing them on your pre-heated warming tray from the oven.
• To make the piccata sauce, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same frying pan along with the chicken drippings at medium temperature. Mix in sliced garlic and saute' until translucent. (About 1 minute) Reduce heat to simmer.
• Add white wine to sauteed garlic pan mixture and stir reducing down to half volume.
• Combine chicken stock, lemon juice, capers, mushrooms and thin lemon slices into the pan stirring with a wooden scraper until thickened. (Leftover flour, salt, and pepper mixture can be used to thicken if needed to desired taste).
• Turn off heat and mix in butter and parsley. Serve piccata sauce over chicken fillets and linguine pasta.

POLLO PICCATA

Steps:

• heat oil in small saute pan.
• salt and flour chicken and pat off excess flour.
• add chicken to pan and brown both sides.
• remove chicken and pour out excess oil.
• add lemon juice, I use the lemon juice that comes with the squeeze tops, so its about 1 and a half swirls around the pan, start at the handle, If I had to guess I'd say 2-3 seconds and maybe 1/4-1/3 a cup.
• the lemon juice should simmer a bit, but don't worry, now add the cream and if sauce is too lemony in the end add a little extra, capers, artichokes, butter, and a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
• let the sauce reduce until 3/4 done, when the bubbles begin to get bigger, then turn off the heat.
• add the chicken breast to the pan and let sit for one minute and flip to coat the other side.
• the chicken should be thoroughly cooked and juicy.
• pour sauce over chicken on plate.
