Instructions
Creating Gluten-Free Chicken Piccata is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them gently to about 1-inch thickness for even cooking.
2. Season Flour: In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free flour with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge Chicken: Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and place on a plate.
6. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter, allowing it to melt. Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the skillet.
7. Add Lemon Juice and Capers: Stir in the fresh lemon juice and capers, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
8. Return Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and coat with sauce.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over it generously.
