Champagne Chicken Piccata
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 – 6 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup flour
- dash of salt and pepper
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 cup champagne
- 6 Tbsp lemon juice
- dash red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup brined capers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Rinse the chicken pieces in water. Dredge them thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces to the skillet. Brown well on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve on a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken. Cover plate with aluminum foil and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.
- Add the champagne, garlic, lemon juice, and capers to the pan. Reduce the sauce by half. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Plate the chicken and serve with the sauce poured over the chicken. Serve over cooked pasta if desired.
Looks delicious Steph – hard to go wrong with lemon, butter, caper sauce. We'll give this one a try.
What champagne would you recommend for this? I typically like a sweeter champagne, but not sure if that would work in this.
I definitely recommend using a champagne that you like to drink. I just bought a single serving size bottle at World Market for this recipe.
Would Prosecco be a good substitute for champagne?
Absolutely – enjoy!
