Chicken Piccata

Serving for 4 Persons

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, flattened out with a rolling pin or meat mallet

1-2 cups of plain flour

2 tablespoons of olive oil

3 tablespoons of butter

1/2 cup of dry white wine

Juice of 2 lemons

Salt and pepper for seasoning to taste

1 cup of chicken stock

Method

1. Sprinkle the flour on to a plate, then coat each chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the chicken breasts until cooked through completely and lightly browned - approximately 2 to 3 minutes each side. Set the chicken aside and keep warm.

3. Pour off the oil from the pan and then add the butter, wine, lemon, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.

4. Add the stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Sprinkle in a little flour to thicken the mixture, then cook for about 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.

5. Place the chicken on to serving dishes and pour over the sauce.
