How to Make

  • Parmesan Herb Breadcrumbs

  • Step 1: Combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside until ready to use. Makes – 1 1/4 cups

  • Chicken

  • Step 2: Pound each breast to make cutlets (not too thin, not too thick). Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in half & half, then dredge in prepared Parmesan Herb Breadcrumbs.

  • Step 3: To a medium-hot skillet, add butter and olive oil. Once hot, cook chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, place on platter (may want to place in lightly warm oven to keep warm, if desired).

  • Piccata Sauce

  • Step 4: To the skillet, add butter (if skillet already has enough butter, may need to cut the amount of butter added) until butter is melted. Add shallots and garlic and cook until golden, add flour and swirl around with wooden spoon until flour is slightly cooked (DO NOT BURN). Add wine and chicken stock and cook until thickened. Add lemon juice. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and white ground pepper, to taste.

  • Step 5: Plate by adding the Piccata sauce, then top with chicken, then top chicken with with goat or boursin cheese (or combination), then sprinkle with fried capers all around. Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
