Notes
Servings –If you use 2 large breasts (450g/16oz), you will serve 3 comfortable. If you use 2 smaller ones, this will serve 2 people.
1. Chicken – can also use tenderloin (no need to cut) or thighs (skinless, boneless, cut in half then pound).
2. Parmesan – or use store bought sandy type grated parmesan.
3. Wine – Any white wine that’s not too woody or sweet will work great here. Chardonnay in particular adds really good flavour. Sub low sodium chicken stock/broth for a non alcoholic version.
Don’t use an expensive wine. The flavour and aroma that you pay for is largely lost during cooking. It’s pretty well documented these days by notable food authorities (such as New York Times Cooking) that you do not need to use expensive wines for cooking.
4. Capers – best to use capers in brine, rather than the dry capers in salt (bit too salty for this dish).
5. Nutrition – assumes 2 tbsp fat is discarded after cooking chicken and 1.5 tbsp flour / parmesan is discarded after coating.
