Ingredients For chicken picata

  • 2
    chicken breast filets(or 1 whole breast halved)
  • 1 Tbsp
    olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1/2 tsp
    garlic
  • 2
    green onions, diced
  • 1/4 c
    lemon juice

How To Make chicken picata

  • 1
    Pound chicken filets between plastic wrap until 1/4 inch thickness.
  • 2
    Brown filets in hot olive oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Removes from the skillet.
  • 3
    Add to the skillet onions and garlic. Cook for 1 minutes stirring. Add lemon juice and sherry. Cook at medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the juices to cook down a little.

    Return chicken to the pan, covering with the juices. Heat for 2 minutes. I serve this with Mexican or flavored rice and call it a meal.
