On the Way to the Promised Land

Our synagogue is taking the 9th graders to Israel . . . . . . and the trip has started.  There was a nearly three hour delay of the flight, but the kids have taken off and are on their way to the trip of a lifetime.

Chicken Piccata - My kids loved it

Thought I would share the Barefoot Contesa's recipe!

4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts (I purchased the cutlets so they were thin)
salt
pepper
1 cup flour
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs - unflavored
olive oil
3 T unsalted butter
1/3 c lemon juice
1/2 c white wine

Preheat oven to 275 - line a cookie sheet with tin foil and sprayed with Pam

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

Mix flour, 1 t salt and pepper in a pie plate.  In a second pie plate, beat the eggs with 1 T water.  On a third plate, pour out the breadcrumbs.

Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then egg then bread crumbs.

Heat 2 T olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat.  Add 2 chicken breasts.  Cook for 2 minutes.  Turn over and cook for 2 more minutes.  Put chicken on cookie sheet.  Continue with the next two chicken breasts.

Place chicken in oven for 5-10 minutes.

Wipe out saute pan, and on medium heat melt 1 T of butter and add lemon juice and white wine and salt and pepper.

Boil over high heat for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add 2 T of butter and stir to combine.

Service one chicken breast on each plate and spoon on sauce.

I served with cous cous and asparagus.
