Introduction
Chicken smothered in a light white wine caper sauce. Chicken smothered in a light white wine caper sauce.Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
Salt
1 large shallot, minced, about 2 Tbsp
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp capers, drained
2-3 cups arugula, torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 fennel bulb, shaved thin
16-24 paper thin shavings of parmesan cheese
Tips
I personally like to eat mine without the arugula! Chicken broth can be substituted for white wine.
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a stick-free sauté pan over medium-high heat until almost smoking, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle salt over the pounded chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side. Keep chicken warm.
Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the shallots and cook 1 minute, stirring often.
Add the garlic and cook another 45 seconds to 1 minute, stirring often.
Add the white wine and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the capers and red pepper flakes and boil until the wine is almost gone, about 2-4 minutes.
To serve, mix the arugula and shaved fennel and put some on each plate. Arrange some shaved parmesan over them. Lay a piece of chicken on each salad, then top with a little of the sauce. Serve hot.
