Ingredients
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 6-ounce chicken cutlets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/2 vegetable bouillon cube
1 lemon, sliced into two 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 sprigs thyme, for garnish
Directions
- Whisk together 1 cup of the flour with the paprika and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Dredge the chicken lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and heat until it starts to shimmer. Sear the cutlets on both sides until browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Place the skillet back over medium heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the capers and bouillon cube, then add in the seared chicken and any juices and 1/4 cup water. Simmer, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the sauce is reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with olive oi and grill the lemons until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Serve the piccata sauce over the chicken and garnish with the grilled lemons and thyme sprigs.
