eats: Braised Chicken with Lemon and Capers

Thursday, June 13, 2013 Leave a Comment

 

braised chicken with lemon and capers #dinner #chicken #lemon

 

Chicken is such a simple thing to make, you can either dress it up or keep it simple.  This chicken is so flavorful, and with the merger of lemon and capers, makes the combination just perfect.  It was a nice treat for hubs & I from the usual boring chicken dishes & the flavors were simple enough for the kiddos to enjoy too.

I made this braised chicken with lemon and capers dish with very simple sides of fingerling potatoes & thin green beans, for which I’ve added the recipes below as well.

Braised Chicken with Lemon and Capers

Yield: Yields 3 servings.

This semi-gourmet chicken dish is easy to make and extremely delicious.

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts
freshly ground coarse black pepper
freshly ground coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 large garlic gloves, peeled
3/4 cup Sauvignon Blanc
3/4 chicken stock
3-4 1-inch strips of lemon zest
4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 teaspoons capers, drained
2-3 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Season both sides of each chicken breast with black pepper & sea salt, then lightly coat with flour on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter until butter is melted.
  3. Add chicken to skillet and cook over high heat, turning half way through, until browned, about 14 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to an 8x8 glass baking dish & cover with foil.
  4. Add garlic cloves to remaining oil in the skillet and cook over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add wine to skillet and boil over high heat, until reduced, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add chicken stock, lemon zest, thyme, capers and bay leaves to skillet; Bring to a boil.
  7. Pour the skillet mixture over the cooked chicken in the baking dish. Transfer baking dish to oven, cover with foil, and braise for 30 minutes, until the meat is tender.
  8. Remove dish from oven. Transfer the sauce from baking dish back to skillet and boil until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  9. Discard thyme, lemon zest, and bay leaves before serving.
  10. Serve with fingerling potatoes & green beans.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
