This is really easy, but very impressive. Serve w/ a side of angel hair or linguine pasta.
CHICKEN PICCATA
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and then cut in half
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
In a large 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter and add another 2 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
Reduce heat to medium low and add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.

1-2 bags of chicken wings/drummettes
1 bottle of soy sauce
Crushed garlic
Garlic seasonings
Salt
Pepper
Brown sugar
Large foil pan
Cook on Broil or at 425
Cook time 60 minutes or until your wings are done.
I have a few really great chicken recipes.
Chinese Chicken wings
Buy one bag of chicken wings
Wash and remove the tips ( I usually cut my wings in half at the drum)
Sprinkle fresh crused garlic all over your chicken wings.
Add salt and pepper or any seasonings you like in foil pan.
Stir wings to make sure seasonings are marinated through the meat.
Cook in your oven but if you have a broiler much better. If you have a broiler continue to turn your chicken until brown.
In the oven turn your chicken every 20-30 minutes until your chicken is brown.
Add soy sauce (lots) keep pouring it all over the chicken for color. Add more garlic and brown sugar. Put back in oven until mixture is sticky on the chicken.
I promise this dish will impress everyone
I have more chicken recipes
For fried chicken the key is marinating
Buy season all
Buy any chicken you like I use drumsticks
Season your chicken with season all. Stir to make sure your chicken is seasoned well. If you can refrigerate for a day to assure great flavor. If not season thawed chicken in the am and refrigerate until ready to cook.
In a large zip lock bag add your flour
You will need 1-2 egss and milk
Make your milk about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1-2 eggs mix
Dip your seasoned chicken in the egg milk mixture and then dip into your flour bag. Shake your bag to coat your chicken.
While you are doing this heat your cooking oil in a frying pan on medium to high heat.
Once your grease is hot add the chicken, cooking on each side until light brown. Continue turning to keep your chicken golden brown until done. You will know when your chicken is done you will not see any blood from the chicken
Best fried chicken ever

I make a good marinade or cooking sauce-I start by putting boneless /skinless chicken in a frying pan- I use tenderloins. Then I defrost the chicken just a little, pour in Balsamic vinegrette with just a little olive oil, next a few dashes of Worshcheshire sauce, Throw in garlic and onion , pepper,and oregeno. Let the chicken cook until it is almost done. Then splash it with soy sauce , cook for a few minutes more, throw on just a little bit of brown sugar and cook for the last minute. AWESOME!

Here's two simple but delicious recipes:
1. Lemon Chicken: Dip thin sliced chicken breast in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in fry pan with olive oil or cooking spray on medium/low heat to brown. Sprinkle with a little rosemary and thyme. (fresh is better if you really want to impress, but dried will work well) Brown on one side. Flip and sprinkle a little more of the spices on this side. Once they are cooked through (which should take only about ten minutes tops), add a little water to the pan to keep them from sticking and burning. Spritze fresh lemon over top. Simmer briefly and serve.
2. Cheesy chicken. Lightly brown thin sliced chicken breasts (two pieces per person) on both sides, on medium/low in a little olive oil or cooking spray. Remove chicken to a cool dish. Place a slice of cheese (swiss or cheddar are best) on a chicken piece, add a little finely chopped onion and slightly cooked, chopped bacon. Place a second chicken piece over each. Place back in frying pan. Cook on low after adding a little water. Should be done and ready to serve within five to ten minutes.
