When it comes to at-home date night, nothing beats a perfectly cooked lemon chicken piccata with pasta and greens. 
Serves: 4
Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 2 Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts, sliced in half
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Finely Crushed Cornflakes
  • 3 tbsp. Grated Parmesan
  • Cooking Spray, as needed
FOR THE WHITE WINE SAUCE:
  • ¼ cup Salted Butter
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Dry White Wine
  • ½ cup Chicken Broth
  • ¼ cup Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp. Capers, drained
  • Fresh Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken in half, lengthwise. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl and set aside. Crush the cornflakes and mix together with the parmesan in a second bowl. Dip the chicken in the eggs and then the cornflakes - making sure to press down so they're coated well.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375F. Spray the interior of the air fryer or the chicken directly so it doesn't stick. Air fry for 6 - 8 minutes, turning over halfway if needed. Check to make sure the internal temp is 165F.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. Melt butter in a sauté pan and then add the garlic. Continue to sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Next add the flour and whisk together with the butter until slightly browned.
  5. Pour over the white wine and chicken broth to deglaze. Then add the lemon juice and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes. Finish with the capers and pull off the heat.
  6. Plate the chicken with a heavy drizzle of the white wine sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately.
