- 4 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 5 Tablespoons Butter

- 2 whole Lemons
- 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream

- This is how you make Chicken Piccata when youre out of capers and you have a pathological fear of cooking anything without adding heavy cream.
- Have a pot of water simmering for the pasta.
- If chicken breasts are overly thick, pound until slightly flattened.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry two of the chicken breasts at one time until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side; a little longer if breasts are thicker, a little shorter if breasts are thinner.
- Remove to a plate, then add the other 2 tablespoons each of butter and olive oil.
- Fry the other two breasts until golden, monitoring the oil/butter mixture to make sure it doesnt burn.
- Decrease heat as needed!
- After removing the chicken, have the heat on medium to medium-low.
- Pour in wine and chicken broth, and squeeze in the juice of two lemons.
- Whisk the sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Allow sauce to cook and bubble and thicken until reduced by about half.
- Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper as its cooking.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in cream.
- Whisk together and allow to cook for a couple of minute until sauce thickens.
- Taste and adjust seasonings or other ingredients.
- Expect the sauce to have a real tang to it; counter it with a little more broth and cream if its too strong!
- Sprinkle in some chopped parsley and stir.
- Right at the end, cook angel hair until al dentedo not overcook!
- With tongs, place a medium-sized mound of pasta on a plate.
- Place a cooked chicken breast beside it, then spoon sauce over the chicken and the pasta.
- The sauce is strong, so no need to drown it.
- Sprinkle a little minced parsley over the top.
