What are capers, anyway? They're the buds of a shrub that grows in the Mediterranean that are pickled and used for garnish and seasoning. They give dishes a unique taste that's delizioso!

What You'll Need

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/2 pounds total), pounded to ¼-inch thickness (see Option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 lemon, cut in half

What to Do

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in another shallow dish.
     
  2. Coat chicken breasts with flour then dip in the eggs while melting the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden.
     
  3. Add wine and capers to skillet and squeeze lemon over chicken. Cook 2 to 4 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce begins to glaze the chicken breasts.

 

Option

To make Veal with Capers, just substitute about 1 pound of pounded veal cutlets for the chicken breasts, cooking in more than one batch, if necessary.

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

You can substitute chicken broth.

is tehre a substitute for using the dry white wine?

There is a non-alcoholic white wine that you can buy at the store.

I think this is "Chicken Piccata"

I LOVE CAPERS! I can't wait to try this one. Michelle
