  You want to know the best part of this dish…..the sauce. Seriously, I would lap it up if I could. But since I’m civilized I opted to pour it over a bunch of roasted cauliflower. Do with it what you will, I won’t judge. #judgymcjudgerson

CHICKEN PICCATA

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tbl ghee (or butter), divided
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 lemon, juiced + 1 tbl zest

  2. In a small bowl, add flour, dried parsley, 1 tbs lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  3. Take your chicken and lightly cover with flour mixture. Add chicken to your hot skillet.
  4. Let cook for about 5 min, then flip and cook another 5 min or until done. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce to medium and put in the remaining 2 tbl of ghee. Once melted stir around and get all the delicious pieces that were left from the chicken off the pan. Add the chicken stock and stir.

  7. Place chicken back into pan and spoon sauce over the top. Add fresh parsley at the end!

I forgot the fresh parsley for the pictures. Don’t be like me.  If you really wanted to take it to the next level, stick the pan into the oven (under broil) with lemon slices over the top and let it get nice and toasty!
