Frugal Gourmet’s Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1⁄2 cup flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
2 tablespoons chicken stock (optional)

Directions

Saute the onions, garlic and scallions in olive oil until tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Pound the chicken breasts flat.

Mix the flour, salt and pepper and place in a flat bowl.

Dip the chicken pieces into flour and lightly brown them in butter, 2-3 minutes per side. Add the sauteed onions and garlic.

Over high heat, add the sherry, lemon juice and capers. This should thicken to make a nice gravy for the chicken. If the gravy becomes too thick, add some chicken stock.

Enjoy!
