Chicken Piccata

INGREDIENTS

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 Package Chicken Tenderloins (Costco)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large egg whites
• Olive oil spray
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2/3 cup seasoned whole wheat dry italian bread crumbs
• Juice of 1 lemon (3-4 tbsp)
• 1/4 Cup dry white wine
• 1/2 Cup reduced sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Capers
• Sliced lemon, for serving
• Parsley

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut chicken into 4 cutlets, then Place cutlets between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic bag and pound out to 1/4-inch thick.
2. Sprinkle both sides of flattened chicken with salt and pepper.
3. In a shallow plate, beat the egg whites and 1 teaspoon of water together.
4. Place the bread crumbs in another plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then bread crumbs.
5. Heat a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat.
6. Spray a generous amount of olive oil spray on one side of the chicken, and lay it in the pan, oil side down.
7. Spray the top of the chicken generously to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Set aside until you make the sauce.
8. For the sauce, clean the saute pan. Over medium heat, melt butter, add the lemon juice, wine, chicken broth and the reserved lemon halves.
9. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes.
10. Discard the lemon halves, add the capers and serve one chicken cutlet on each plate.
11. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Note- I have been doubling sauce per AB’s request.
