Preparation Steps
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise in half to create 4 cutlets.
- Place the chicken cutlets on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound to a ½-inch thickness using a meat tenderizer. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for later.
- Rinse each chicken breast with water and then dredge through the flour mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat and add olive oil.
- Once the olive oil is fragrant, add the chicken cutlets to the pan.
- Sauté each cutlet for 4-5 minutes per side on medium heat, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken cutlets from the pan and set aside.
- Deglaze the pan by pouring the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a spatula.
- Add the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour mixture to the pan and whisk with the wine until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Whisk to combine.
- Remove the pan from heat and pour the piccata sauce over the chicken.
- Serve over pasta of choice, or on its own.
