Chicken Piccata
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (I cut them into bite-sized pieces first, but this is totally personal preference)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 -2 shallot, sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon caper juice, fom the caper jar
- 1 tablespoon olive juice, from nicoise olive or 1 tablespoon other french olives or 1 tablespoon Italian olives
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup white wine, like viognier
- Quickly saute the chicken on fairly high heat until it's browned outside but not necessarily cooked throughout.
- Remove the chicken and set aside to drain.
- In the same pan, melt the butter and oil together on medium heat, scraping up the fond (brown bits) as you go.
- Add the shallots and saute until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add capers, caper juice, olive juice, and lemon juice, and simmer for another minute or two.
- Return the chicken to the pan.
- Add the white wine and simmer till the whole sauce is reduced to a slightly syrupy consistency and chicken is heated through.
- This goes well with egg noodles or fettucine.
