Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata
Taken from this recipe (minus the parsley b/c I don't have any on hand).















Ingredients:
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and cut through so you have 4 thinner pieces
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
  • freshly-ground black pepper
  • a few tablespoons of whole wheat flour 
  • a tablespoon of Smart Balance
  • a tablespoon of olive oil
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • juice of 1 large lemon
  • pinch of dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup capers, drained
Directions:
  • Season both sides of chicken breast pieces with TSSS and black pepper and dredge in flour.
  • In a skillet, heat Smart Balance and olive oil until melted.  Cook chicken for a few minutes on each side until browned.  Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Zest 1/2 the lemon.  Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, chicken stock and capers to the pan and scrape up all the brown chicken bits.  Bring to a boil and add more seasoning as necessary.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with sauce.  Simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  • Transfer chicken to a serving plate and pour the sauce on top.
  • Serve hot.
