Chicken Piccata

With

Steph De Sousa

SERVES

4

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast fillets

  • 100g salted butter

  • 2 lemons, juiced

  • 2 tbsp baby capers

  • 300g spinach

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Slice each chicken breast in half lengthways so you have 4 thin pieces.

  2. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat a pan over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides until golden, then remove from the pan.

  4. Add the butter and lemon juice to the pan and let it melt into a glossy sauce.

  5. Return the chicken to the pan, sprinkle over the capers and scatter in the spinach.

  6. Cook until the spinach wilts.

  7. Once wilted, it's ready to serve straight away.

Steph De Sousa

Steph De Sousa cooks as The Frugal Foodie, building recipes around what's already in the pantry and the produce nobody wants to throw out. Her style is straightforward and budget-aware without being austere: roast vegetable peelings, second-day rice, a freezer worked properly. She brings practical home rhythms to Savour and Wander.
