Ingredients

• 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 8 oz green beans, trimmed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp capers
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet.
5. On the same sheet pan, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, add the trimmed green beans to the pan with the potatoes. Continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, in the skillet used for the chicken, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer until the sauce has slightly reduced, about 3-4 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until it has melted and the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken on the sheet pan.
9. Return the sheet pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld.
10. Serve the chicken piccata with the roasted potatoes and green beans, garnishing with the chopped fresh parsley.
