Chicken Limone Recipe
I'm happy to share my Chicken Limone recipe. This Italian-American classic is sure to satisfy. It's flavorful, quick to cook, and excellent for a weeknight supper or big occasion.
Equipment
- skillet
- spoon
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 tbsp capers
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then, coat them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the lemon juice, white wine, and capers to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Let it cook for a couple of minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and top the chicken with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through and juicy, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- If you prefer your dish with more garlic, add more minced garlic. If you like it with more parsley, add more chopped parsley. Play around with the seasoning until you find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
- If you have leftovers, you can use them in pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches and even pizza toppings.
