Chicken Piccata

This is another favorite recipe for many where there are so many different variations out there.  I hope you'll consider giving mine a try!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4lb thin sliced chicken 
• 1 juiced lemon + 2 juiced lemons
• 1/2c flour
• italian seasoning
• crushed red pepper (optional)
• olive oil
• 1/2c white wine + 2/3c
• 2 tbsp drained capers (balsamic if you can find them)

1. Squeeze lemon juice from 1 lemon over both sides of the chicken.
2. In a bowl, combine 1/2c flour with italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.  Dredge both sides of the chicken and shake off the excess flour.  Reserve the flour.
3. In a large skillet, add some olive oil, 1/2c white wine, and the juice of 2 lemons.  Add the chicken and cook 3 min.  Flip, add 1/3c wine and 3 tbsp of the reserved flour/seasoning, and cook 3 min.  Flip again, add some additional italian seasoning and crushed red pepper, and another 1/3c wine and 3 tbsp of flour to thicken the sauce.  Cook 2 min. 
4. Stir well and pour the entire skillet into a baking dish.  Cook on 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  Remove, and garnish with the drained capers.

I had no idea that balsamic capers existed, and they are fantastic!  You can absolutely use regular capers if your store doesn't carry the balsamic variety.
