Chicken Piccata sans Capers but with Pickled onions instead
It works. I swear.
So, it seems my M.O. is to call any chicken dish with lemon ๐ โChicken Piccataโ
However, unlike the last time I made a pseudo piccata, this time I did not try to thicken the sauce. I donโt like thickening sauces except by default via a reduction.
For this chicken piccata version, I definitely did not have capers & I did not care. Without capers, I had an excuse to use my noggin while also teaching you how to make pickled onions.
Pretty simple actually.
Bring a liโl pickle juice to a boil.
Add diced onions. Turn off the heat. Do other things. Check back when youโre done with your other things. Youโll have pickled onions. I promise.
Some โother thingsโ include, but are not limited to: pounding the chicken, sprinkling it with salt & pepper, browning the chicken in butter, adding chopped mushrooms, adding the juice & โmeatโ of one or two lemons ๐ Adding chopped broccoli ๐ฅฆ Adding the pickled onions. Adding the cooked rice to reheat. Tasting your ensemble whilst patting yourself on the back. GREAT JOB!!
No go forth & cook!
