Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of capers and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Meanwhile, place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Continue mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the extra lemon chicken piccata alongside the garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
