CHICKEN THIGH PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken pieces, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a sheet tray. Place the chicken in the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place the saute pan back on the heat over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the butter along with the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook until the garlic softens and becomes aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the white wine and reduce slightly, 2 to 3 minutes, before adding the chicken stock.
• Bring the liquid to a strong simmer, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the capers and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the parsley. Place the chicken pieces back in the pan or plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top.

• Preheat oven to 275 and line sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper and pound to 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

Place them on the same lined pan and place in oven for 5-10 minutes while you make the sauce.
• For the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel. On medium heat, melt 1 Tbls. of the butter and then add the lemon juice, white wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
• Boil sauce over high heat until reduced by half which will be about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 Tbls. butter and swirl to combine. Discard the lemon halves. Serve one chicken breast on each plate and spoon on the sauce with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
