Chicken Piccata
Reducing the lemon-caper pan sauce until it coats the back of a spoon is what makes it cling to the chicken instead of pooling thin around the plate.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 tbsp capers
- 2 tbsp dairy-free butter
- fresh parsley, chopped
Method
- 1
Dust the pounded chicken breasts with rice flour, shaking off excess.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then remove.
- 3
Add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer 4-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon — this reduction is what makes the sauce cling to the chicken instead of running off thin.
- 4
Stir in capers and dairy-free butter until the sauce is glossy.
- 5
Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over top, and garnish with parsley before serving.
