Weight Watchers Chicken Breasts With Caper Sauce For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Bring broth, vinegar garlic, peppercorns and bay leaf to a boil in a small saucepan.
• Reduce the heat and simmer until liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup and garlic is very tender, 8-9 minutes.
• Discard peppercorns and bay leaf.
• Puree garlic mixture in a blender.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add chicken and cook until browned about 5 minutes on each side.
• Add garlic mixture and capers; partially cover and cook, turning chicken until heated through, 2-3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile mix butter and flour in a small custard cup to form a paste.
• Stir into sauce until blended and smooth.
• Simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
• Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
• To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.
