Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Capers and Green Onions

Category: , , ,

Parmesan cheese and capers make a tasty combination for chicken breasts. If you cannot use wine, substitute additional chicken broth for the sauce. You can have this on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients:


1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast halve
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth (or 1/2 cup if you don't have white wine)
1 green onion (scallions), thin-sliced, tops included
1/2 Tablespoon capers, drained

---------------------------------------

Instructions

Combine garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and lemon pepper. Sprinkle spice mix on both sides of chicken breast. Combine Parmesan cheese and flour then coat each side with the mixture (sometimes it helps to pat it firmly onto the chicken with your hands).

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Brown chicken breast on both sides, turning only once. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits (If you don't have white wine, just use 1/4 cup of chicken broth to deglaze and then add the additional for the next step). Cook for 1 minute, then add chicken broth, scallions and capers. Bring to a simmer and return chicken breast to the pan. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Serve chicken breast with pan gravy.

I recommend serving this dish with a green vegetable like broccoli, broccolini, or asparagus. 

Happy Eats!
