Looking for a slightly different but tasty work day meal that is easy to cook, Create a gourmet-style meal with this effortless chicken dish served with zesty butter and caper sauce.
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breast Fillets (about 250g each), halved horizontally
100g butter, diced
1/4 cup (50g) drained baby capers (if you like capers, add in lots more!)
3-4 lemons, zested, juiced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley)
Method
Place a chicken fillet between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound until 1.5cm thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Season well.
Heat 10g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook the chicken, in 2 batches, for 2 mins each side or until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Reduce heat to medium.
Add remaining butter to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until butter melts and is golden brown.
Add capers and cook for 1 min or until crisp. Add lemon juice and half the lemon zest. Swirl to combine. Return chicken and any juices to the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, for 2 mins or until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly. Sprinkle with parsley. Gently shake the pan. Remove from heat.
Serve the chicken sprinkled with remaining lemon zest.
This goes just as well with garlic bread and salad, or mashed potatoes and steamed seasonal vegetables.
