Chicken Piccata

One night for dinner I made chicken piccata it is a really easy dish to make .
The measurements below are for 2 chicken breasts which have been pounded out. But I always make more chicken and sauce because it is so good.

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour. In a hot pan with olive oil and a little butter brown the chicken on both sides. At this point the chicken is not cooked , but transfer to a plate and make the sauce. The chicken will finish in the sauce.

Combine lemon juice, chicken stock , white wine and lemon zest allow this mixture to boil until it begins to thicken. Then add capers and the chicken back into the pan. Allow chicken to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkles with fresh parsley and serve.

Fajita Cupcake!

Sorry its been awhile since my last post. I will have a more complete post soon but to tide you over here are some pics of my fajita cupcakes.

I took store bought flour tortillas cut them out (actually my boyfriend cut them out) and baked them in muffin trays allowing them to get nice and crispy. I sprayed them with cooking spray. Then on the stove I sauteed chicken, onions and peppers.

I also made salsa and guacamole. Once the chicken is ready I filled the tortilla cups with the chicken covered them with cheese and put under the broiler. Pay close attention when you do this. The cheese melts fast and you dont want to burn the tortilla cups. Once the cheese was melted I topped with guacamole, salsa and sour cream. They turned out great and I will 100% be making these again but next time I would like to use home-made tortillas.
