SUPER Easy Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally and pounded down, equally 1/2″ thick
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 fresh lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup capers with liquid
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • finely chopped parsley for garnish
  • lemon slices to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Season your chicken generously with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper then dredge it on both sides in the almond flour.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in your chicken breasts and sear each for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and continue cooking in your preheated oven for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Meanwhile, add the chicken stock, lemon juice and capers to the hot pan bring it to the boil and scrape down any brown bits. Cook the sauce until it is reduced by half, for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!
