Chicken Piccata with Asparagus
This lemony recipe is also delicious made with veal or pork scallops or thin slices of salmon or sole. If you like, add a few tablespoons of capers to the sauce just before spooning it over the chicken.

Makes 4 servings


1 lbBoneless, skinless chicken breasts, filets removed (4 pieces)500 g 
  Salt and pepper  
1/2 cupAll purpose flour125 ml 
2 tbspOlive oil30 ml

1 Place chicken breasts (one at a time) in a large zip-lock bag and flatten with a meat pounder. Season chicken with salt and pepper and dust lightly with flour.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet and saute chicken (in batches if necessary) about 3 minutes per side until just cooked through and lightly browned. Place on a serving platter and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
3 Discard any oil but do not wash the pan. Return it to the heat. Add butter. Add asparagus and stir-fry a few mintues until bright green. Add a few tablespoons of water if necessary to stop any burning. Spoon asparagus over the chicken.
