Tilapia Picata Or Chicken Picata With Capers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lemon, juice of
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers
4 tilapia fillets or 4 chicken cutlets
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons morton natures seasoning or 1 1/2 teaspoons lawrys seasoning
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

In a skillet pan place 1/2 the butter and olive oil to heat up on medium high.
place all the dry ingredients in a gallon size plastic baggy, mix well and then add the tilapia or chicken and coat well.
place the tilapia/chicken in the oil/butter mix and cook without burning ( lower heat if needed) so it cooks half way and is golden brown approximately 4 min, then flip to cook other side of tilapia.
let talapia/chicken cook 1- 2 min then add remaining butter, capers, lemon juice and chicken broth. reduce heat to med low and sauce will thicken slightly.
Serve with pasta, rice or with a veggie for a quick and tasty meal everyone will love.
I actually double the sauce, pull out the fish when it is done place a little sauce over the fish and the remaining sauce I place over angel hair pasta. This is my daughter favorite meal. I make the same exact meal with chicken cutlets as well. Garnish with lemon slices on top of Tilapia or Chicken cutlets.
