Gluten-Free Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

Gluten-free flour

1 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil

3 tablespoons

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Lemon juice

1/4 cup, freshly squeezed

Chicken broth

1 cup

Capers

2 tablespoons, rinsed and drained

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Chicken breasts

4 (6 oz each)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. If they are thick, you may want to pound them to an even thickness for more uniform cooking.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring to shake off any excess flour.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
5. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
6. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
7. Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the capers and bring the mixture to a simmer.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
9. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
