How to make Lemon Chicken Piccata
Step 1: Ready the oven and preheat to 180 degrees C.
Step 2: Juice the first lemon then set aside the juice. Cut the second lemon from the bottom to the top. Remove the edges. Slice the first lemon into thin round pieces.
Step 3: Cut the chicken breast into two forming a butterfly shape.
Step 4: Dry the chicken by patting using paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on each side to taste.
Step 5: Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.
Step 6: Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil.
Step 7: Dip the chicken into the flour or Panko crumbs.
Step 8: Fry the first batch of the chicken for 2 minutes or until the color turns brown on each side. Repeat this to the next batch. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil and butter.

Step 10: Add the shallots into the skillet and saute. Cook until translucent then add in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic.
