WHAT IS CHICKEN PICCATA
Chicken piccata is a classic Italian dish of thin slices of meat that are sautéed and served with a wine, lemon and capers sauce.
This healthy chicken piccata isn’t breaded or fried, but it still has all the flavor of the original. As a bonus, it’s ready in less than 30 minutes using your pressure cooker or Instant Pot!
INGREDIENTS:
2 Chicken breast
low sodium pink Himalayan? salt
Black pepper
2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth or stock
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup low sodium carpers, rinsed and drained
Juice from one lemon
Lemon slices for garnish
2 Tablespoon parsley, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut chicken breast in half if you don’t have thin chicken breast, pat dry with paper towel; season with salt and pepper, (be careful with the amount of salt).
Turn on the saute function on the instant pot and add olive oil; when it is hot, place the chicken breast and brown on both sides. Set aside.
Add minced garlic and saute for 20 seconds, add chicken broth or stock to deglaze the pot; add dry white wine, capers, lemon juice, and chicken breast, turn off the saute function.
Lock the lid and turn on the pressure function on the instant pot (or pressure cooker) on manual for 5 minutes at high pressure.
Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before continuing by a quick release, remove the chicken, and set aside.
Press the saute button again, and let the sauce reduce for a few minutes, add the chicken back, parsley, and some slices of lemon for garnish.
Serve with a side of your choice.
NOTES:
If you don’t know which wine to buy I use Chardonnay, but you can also get Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
