Our Favorite Recipes
Ingredients: Yields approximately 4 servings
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into sections
4 cups chicken broth
3 strips of bacon, fried and cut into 1 inch sections
1 medium shallot, sliced lengthwise
4 TBSP salted butter
2 TBSP garlic infused olive oil
2 TBSP lemon juice OR juice from 1 large lemon
2 TBSP capers, drained
½ cup all purpose white flour
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp seasoned garlic salt
½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
About ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves

1. Wash chicken breasts and cut into smaller sections~ first in half lengthwise, and then into thirds horizontally. You should end up with about 6 pieces per breast.
2. In a bowl combine flour and parmesan cheese, garlic salt, salt & pepper; blend well.
3. Take each piece of chicken and dredge in flour coating both sides evenly.
Reserve remaining seasoned flour.

4. In a large cast iron skillet, heat half the butter and infused olive oil.
5. Begin adding in the chicken pieces in a single layer; you may need to repeat this process twice depending on the size of your skillet. Remove cooked pieces onto a paper towel lined plate while cooking. Fry each side about 2 to 4 minutes depending on thickness. Be sure to check doneness by cutting into the center and when the juices run clear.
6. Place cooked chicken in a container and cover to keep warm.

7. Once all your chicken is fried add remaining butter, broth, lemon juice, shallots, capers, bacon, and garlic cloves and ¼ cup of the remaining seasoned flour into the skillet; blend thoroughly until there are no flour clumps and all the ingredients are well blended.
Once picatta gravy has thickened, cook for about 1 minute.

Once the gravy is done, serve over the chicken with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable! So yum!
PRO TIP: Precut your bacon into 1 inch sections and then fry! This makes it easier than trying to crumble it!
