Lemon Chicken with Capers and Pecans

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup pecan pieces
  • 2 whole chicken breasts (about 10 oz each), boned and split, skin attached
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast until golden, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Pound chicken breasts gently between plastic wrap until evenly flattened. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Place chicken skin-side down and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until juices run clear, 3–5 minutes more. Transfer to a warmed platter and cover loosely with foil.
  4. Pour off fat from skillet. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits from pan. Cook over high heat 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and capers.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 tbsp at a time. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Serve immediately.
