Instructions
-
1Pound chicken breasts between plastic wrap to about ⅜ inch (1 cm) thickness. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour — shake off excess.
-
2Heat olive oil and half the butter in a skillet. Sear chicken over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pan.
-
3Sauté minced garlic in the same fat for 1 minute.
-
4Deglaze with dry white wine and reduce for 2 minutes over high heat — alcohol will evaporate.
-
5Add chicken broth, lemon juice (from 1.5 lemons), and capers. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
-
6Whisk in remaining butter in small pieces (monter au beurre) — this adds shine and silky texture.
-
7Return chicken to sauce and finish cooking over low heat for 2 minutes.
-
8Top each portion with a pat of cold cannabis-infused butter — residual heat will gently melt it into the sauce.
-
9Garnish with lemon slices and fresh chopped parsley.
Pro Tips
- Piccata means 'sharp' or 'tangy' — the combination of lemon and capers makes the sauce vibrant.
- Monter au beurre (whisking in cold butter) is the secret to silky sauce consistency.
- Cannabis-infused butter blends seamlessly into the butter finish — barely distinguishable.
- Serve with linguine, risotto, or sautéed asparagus.
