Stashcook

This is a yummy chicken dish with a zesty lemon taste and a smoky butter sauce. You coat chicken in flour and spices, then cook it until it's golden. The sauce is made with garlic, wine, and a special butter with herbs and smoked paprika.

Ingredients

200 g unsalted butter, room temperature
10 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
10 g fresh basil, finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
4 chicken breasts, halved horizontally
120 g all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbsp capers, drained
150 ml dry white wine
1 large lemon, juiced
2 tbsp olive oil

Method

1
Begin by making the herb butter. Combine the softened butter with chopped parsley, basil, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Mix until well blended, then transfer to parchment paper and roll into a log. Chill in the refrigerator.
2
Prepare the chicken by placing each half between two sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten to about 1 cm thick using a rolling pin.
3
Mix the flour with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika on a plate. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the capers and pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
6
Reduce the wine by half, then stir in the lemon juice. Lower the heat.
7
Cut the chilled herb butter into cubes and whisk into the skillet, a few pieces at a time, until the sauce thickens.
8
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
