Back-Pocket Caper-Butter Chicken
Recipe
Ingredients
1
garlic clove, finely grated
⅓ cup
red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp.
drained capers, plus 2 Tbsp. brine
4 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 large
skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb. total)
1 tsp.
honey
3 Tbsp.
unsalted butter, cut into pieces
to taste
Freshly ground pepper
to taste
Coarsely chopped parsley (for serving)
Instructions
STEP 1
Mix 1 garlic clove, finely grated, ⅓ cup red wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp. caper brine, and 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large bowl to combine. Slice 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb. total) in half like you’re going to butterfly them, but cut all the way through to make 4 evenly thick cutlets (⅓" thick or less). Add to bowl with marinade and turn to coat. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
STEP 2
Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade; pat dry (no need to salt). Set marinade aside. Arrange chicken in pan; cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on other side until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter; reserve skillet.
STEP 3
Stir 1 tsp. honey and ¼ cup water into reserved marinade, then pour into reserved skillet. Cook, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Add 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces, and 1 Tbsp. drained capers; season with freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring, until butter is melted and sauce is emulsified, 1–2 minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken; top with coarsely chopped parsley.
