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 🍋 “Chicken Piccata”
However, unlike the last time I made a pseudo piccata, this time I did not try to thicken the sauce. I don’t 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 li’l pickle juice to a boil.
Add diced onions. Turn off the heat. Do other things. Check back when you’re done with your other things. You’ll have pickled onions. I promise.
Some “other things” 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 & “meat” of one or two lemons 🍋 Adding chopped broccoli 🥦 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!
