CHICKEN PICCATA (GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE)

EPISODE 1: DATE NIGHT IN – GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE CHICKEN PICCATA✨ this series is all about showing you how to make simple but impressive meals for a romantic date night in! We’re starting by putting a gluten and dairy-free spin on one of my favorite classics: chicken piccata! This recipe is easy but elevated which is my ideal combination on date night. Plus is absolutely IRRESISTIBLE, just like you 😉

Ingredients:
2 large chicken breast, cut horizontally into 2 cutlets each
salt and pepper to season
1 cup gluten-free flour
avocado oil for frying your chicken
1 shallot, minced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice + 4-5 lemon slices
1/4 cup coconut cream
2 tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt
For serving: prepared gluten-free pasta, fresh chopped parsley

Directions:
Season your chicken on both sides with salt and pepper
Scatter your flour on a plate or low bowl and dredge each chicken cutlet with flour until evenly coated and shake off any excess
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high and sear your chicken on both sides for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden, working in batches to not overcrowd the pan
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate
Wipe down your skillet (doesn’t need to be spotless, you just want to remove any charred bits) and reduce the heat to medium
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil and add your shallot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add your garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic (reduce pan heat if necessary)
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, coconut cream, capers, nutritional yeast, and salt, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer
Return your seared chicken to the pan along with the lemon slices and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, occasionally basting the chicken in the sauce
Serve over gluten-free pasta and ENJOY!
