Low Carb Chicken Piccata
A deliciously low carb dinner!
I started to brown the chicken in a skillet, then realized I used bone-in chicken. So I transferred it to a Dutch oven – since it takes longer to cook bone-in chicken, you run the risk of drying it out when pan frying (the heavy lid of the Dutch oven keeps all the moisture in the pot – and the chicken– while cooking. Once the skin side of the chicken has been browned, flip it then add the liquid. The liquid should come no more than half way up the sides of the chicken. Cover and reduce to a simmer for 20-40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
To make the sauce, remove the chicken. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce by about half. Stir in some cold butter, whisking constantly until thickened. I also added some fresh lemon slices (without the peel), to intensify the lemony flavor.
