Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• 1 lemon sliced for garnish

Directions

1. Place the sliced chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour.
3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dredged chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the white wine. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, allowing the wine to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for another minute to heat through.
6. To serve, drizzle the remaining Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil over the chicken and sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Enjoy your Meyer Lemon Chicken Piccata with your favorite pasta or a side of sautéed vegetables.
