Gala Chicken Piccata

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and seasoning them with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Core and slice the Gala apples into thin wedges.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the apple slices. Cook until the apples are slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the capers and lemon juice to the skillet with the apples, and cook for an additional minute.

7. 7

   Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

8. 8

   Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer everything together for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the chicken is heated through.

9. 9

   Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the dish just before serving.

10. 10

    Serve the chicken and sauce hot, accompanied by your choice of side dish.
