      Title: Giada De Laurentiis' Chicken Piccata
 Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2    Boned, skinned chicken
           - breasts; butterflied, cut
           - in half
           Salt & fresh ground black
           - pepper
           A-P flour; for dredging
      6 tb Unsalted butter
      5 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    1/3 c  Fresh lemon juice
    1/2 c  Chicken stock
    1/4 c  Brined capers; rinsed
    1/3 c  Fresh parsley; chopped
 
  Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with
  salt and pepper. Then, dredge the chicken lightly in
  flour and shake off any excess. Set aside.
  
  Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 3
  tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  Once the butter has melted and the oil starts to sizzle,
  add 2 pieces of chicken to the skillet. Cook for 3
  minutes per side, then remove and transfer to a plate
  once deeply golden on both sides.
  
  Add an additional 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet
  with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot and melted,
  cook the remaining 2 pieces of chicken in the same way.
  Remove promptly to the plate with the other browned
  chicken.
  
  Add the lemon juice, chicken stock and capers to the
  skillet and bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any
  cooked-on bits (the fond) from the bottom of the pan.
  Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and
  pepper, if desired, then return the chicken (with its
  juices) to the pan.
  
  Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, spooning the
  sauce over the chicken as it finishes cooking. Remove
  chicken to a serving platter. Then finish by melting the
  final 2 tablespoons of butter into the sauce and whisk
  vigorously until the sauce looks glossy and velvety.
  
  Pour the finished sauce over the chicken and garnish
  with fresh parsley.
