Tips & Techniques

  • Kitchen Tips

    Often paired with veal, piccata-style lemon-pepper sauce has a bright fresh flavor that works well with chicken, too. Stirring the parsley into the sauce just before serving keeps the herb's color and taste vibrant.

  • Marjoram tastes a little like oregano. If you don't have it, you can substitute dried oregano, thyme or sage leaves.

Ingredients

  • 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4  cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon white pepper
  • 2  tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2  cup chicken broth
  • 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4  teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
  • 2  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4  cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. 1Place 1 chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wrap. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  2. 2In shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. Coat chicken breasts with flour mixture. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown on outside and no longer pink in center.
  3. 3Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce and marjoram to skillet; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Serve over chicken.

When I make this dish, I add a handful of parmesan cheese to the flour mixture, I don't use worcestershire sauce, but I DO add white wine and a handful of capers.
