Weekend Daily Mail

[doglady]

Does anyone have the Weekend magazine from this weeks Daily Mail on Saturday? It had a recipe in the cooking bit chicken with lemon and capers and parsley, and I went to the shops at lunchtime, and bought chicken and lemon and capers and parsley, only to get home and find my husband has put the paper in the recycling bin, and the bin men have been and gone.

Can anyone remind me of what you do, otherwise I'm stuck with a whole jar of capers I will never use!!

I remember it was pretty simple, but other than that, I'm stuck.

Thanks everyone.

1 lb Skinned and boned chicken breasts (about 1 lb) halved and lbed to 1/4 inch thick

1. Combine the flour, pepper and paprika on a plate. Press the chicken breasts into the mixture, coating them evenly all over and shaking off any excess. 2. In a heavy 10-inch skillet, heat the corn oil over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the breasts and cook about 3 minutes on each side; do not overcook. Transfer the breasts to a heated platter. 3. Add the chicken stock to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Stir in the lemon juice and capers and heat through. Pour the sauce over the breasts.

And mind the extra seasoning if you use salted capers as doubt you would need further salt. Fresh capers - or in brine and rinsed - should be used slightly differently re extra salt to season.

Hi n00dles - the Mail recipe is a good version to have as option to one from above. Pollo con Limone is a handy stand by - instant variation - part cook a flattened chicken breast and half way through cooking add lemon juice and ginger jam to the pan. Finish the cooking, stir in some craime fraiche and season. Serve with lemon wedges - great cold with salad - garnished with capers of course.....

[n00dles]

Season the flour with salt and pepper and roll the chicken escalopes lightly in it. Soak the capers in a little water for 20 minutes. Heat the butter in a large pan and when it is hot, not brown, add the chicken escalopes. Fry gently on each side until they are cooked and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Remove the chicken to a heated serving dish, and keep warm. Now add the drained capers (chopped if they are large) to the same pan, along with the grated lemon rind and lemon juice. Stir well to deglaze the pan, and add 1 - 2 tablespoons warm water if you like your sauce more liquid. Season, add the parsley, and pour over the chicken. Serve immediately........

..........and deliver to n00dles :-D

ENJOY !!

P.s. only buy said paper (never read it) because it gives the most informative info on progs in magazine !!

Hey nickmo,

[n00dles]

Can't talk right now....have to make an appointment for a brain transplant.....

Nickmo you were the filling...I'm just the bread and butter...LOL

[nickmo]

Hiya Noods - mental picture forming here about large slices of bread - and not pretty . . unlike the recipe of course . .

Can't be bothered with continuous replies to others opinions about responses - the AB is open to all so why get stuck trying to think up 'come backs'...he's whining in the Suggs. section as well I see - not my problem. Take care . .

Doglady - hope the ideas are of use . . !

Thankyou very much n00dles. There will be plenty to share, and we will be eating in the garden if it's not raining, having just had it tidied up today. Feel free to pop round and I will gladly give you some dinner.

We will be having sauted potatoes with it, and maybe some mange tout, or some salad if I remember to go shopping again.

Mmmmmmmm.

[doglady]

Well I cooked my Pollo con Limone last night, and it was soooooo yummy. Even the capers, which I've never had before and wasn't totally sure about.

Such a shame you couldn't make it n00dles. I kept yours warm for you for ages, but then we gave in and ate it ourselves.

Thanks very much for the recipe - you should definately make it yourself.

Mmmmmm
