To make Herb-Roasted Piccata Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and basil. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the piccata sauce. In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Once the chicken is done roasting, remove it from the oven and pour the piccata sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
