Chef's Tip
Pan sauces like the piccata here can be finished with a technique called mounting: for a luxurious effect, after removing the pan from the heat, add ½ to 1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter and rotate the pan until the butter melts and slowly emulsifies.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl or plate, spread the arrowroot powder in an even layer and season with salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken in the arrowroot powder, turning to coat; shake off any excess. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons [2 to 3 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden brown, firm, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add more oil between batches if the pan is dry. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad.

2

Make the salad

  • Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts; thinly slice the sprouts crosswise.
  • Cut the apple into quarters lengthwise and cut away the core; thinly slice the fruit.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for the piccata sauce.
In a large bowl, stir together the slaw dressing base and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the Brussels sprouts, apple, and half the parsley and toss to combine. Let stand while you prepare the piccata sauce.

3

Make the piccata sauce

  • Measure ½ cup [1 cup] vegetable broth; save the rest for another use.
  • Zest the lemon. Cut the lemon into wedges for garnish.
In the same pan used for the chicken, add the broth and ¼ cup white wine, if using. Bring to a boil, reduce to a vigorous simmer, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest and capers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lemon zest is fragrant and the sauce is slightly more thickened, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken and salad to individual plates. Top the chicken with the piccata sauce and serve with the lemon wedges.
