Time 35m

Yield 13 to 15 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into long 1/3-inch-thick strips
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the wine, chicken broth and salt. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until smooth. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, juice, capers and parsley. Return to a simmer and whisk in the butter until smooth. Keep warm.
  • For the chicken: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Thread one chicken strip on each bamboo skewer. Sprinkle the chicken all over with the salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Place on the grill pan and grill until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Grill the lemon, cut-side down, alongside the chicken until charred, about 3 minutes. Squeeze over the cooked chicken. Serve with the piccata sauce on the side for drizzling.

I'm not a fan of chicken piccata, but I tried these skewers and they were surprisingly good! The sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy.
