Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons pan drippings from searing chicken breasts or 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed (see Cook’s Note)
  2. 2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
  3. 1 cup white wine
  4. 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  5. 2 tablespoons capers, chopped
  6. 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
  7. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  8. Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  9. Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  10. Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the pan with the drippings over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook (adding a touch of butter if necessary) until soft and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce until the pan begins to sizzle again, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and reduce by one-half, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the capers and parsley, then whisk in the butter and lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

This was so easy to make & delicious! I used salmon dredged in flour instead of chicken. Hubby said it was the best ever!
David Jones
It takes patience, but wow! What a great sauce for fish or chicken. I may even try it on pork loin. Use a light hand with the salt.
