Lunch: Quick Chicken Piccata

Recipe by Adam Hickman Chicken piccata is typically made with sliced chicken breasts, but we find chicken "thighcatta" to be even more flavorful.

Ingredients

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons capers, drained
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 fresh thyme sprig
3/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken over. Add wine, capers, garlic, and thyme to pan; cook 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and stock to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Stir in lemon juice and butter. Sprinkle evenly with parsley.
