00:44 Yes, Andrew Beal sent me this recipe.
00:46 And well, we're going to start off with two pieces of chicken breast,
00:52 which is butterflied cut. Let's see.
00:56 We start off by seasoning the chicken, season the chicken,

01:56 Get this seasoned, look at that, look how nicely seasoned this is.
01:59 Seasoned, it's the time of the season of chicken.
02:07 Now we'll put a little paprika on here too.
02:10 Just a little sweet.
02:13 There we go.
02:15 All right, the next step is we got to prepare a frying pan to fry this baby up.
02:20 We got, all right, we got two tablespoons of butter.
02:27 Now we're going to add some, three tablespoons of olive oil.
02:33 And heat this up really good.
02:37 High heat.
02:39 It's got high heat.
02:42 It's got high heat.
02:44 All right, so we'll get three tablespoons of olive oil.
02:49 One, two, and three.
02:58 Here we go, three tablespoons of olive oil.
03:02 And we got to let this heat up and then we'll be putting our chicken in.
03:06 We got to melt down this butter.
03:08 While the butter's melting down, we'll be dredging the chicken breast into some flour.
03:12 So let's get some flour to chicken breast.
03:17 Flour to chicken breast and flour, make it look covered.
03:26 This is how you flour the chicken breast. Flour it up real good.
03:32 Flour the chicken breast.
03:34 All right, shake off the rest.
03:37 And we'll get ready to fry the baby up.
03:39 All right, this is nice and smoky oil.
03:42 Let me turn the fan on so we don't get any little orange here.
03:46 So let's put the chicken breast into the frying pan.
03:52 And we're going to let this cook for a few minutes, brown it up, flip it around, and brown out the other side.
03:59 All right, our chicken's browning up nicely.
04:02 So let's turn the chicken around.
04:05 Turn the chicken around.
04:08 Cook on the other side now.
04:14 Nice and brown.
04:16 Got the chicken browned.
04:18 So let's take it out, and we've got the next step in our chicken piccata.
04:25 Now that we've got our chicken browned, let's make the sauce for the piccata.
04:33 Got sauce for the piccata.
04:36 Cucuta, batata.
04:39 We're making a sauce for the piccata.
04:42 Chicken piccata.
04:45 Now we have to add some -- four more tablespoons of butter.
04:53 If butter makes it better.
04:55 Two more tablespoons of olive oil.
05:03 So one tablespoon of olive oil.
05:07 Ow! Fuck!
05:09 And two tablespoons of olive oil.
05:17 That splashed on me.
05:19 It almost fried me up a little bit.
05:21 Right.
05:23 Now we have to add a third of a cup of lemon juice.
05:30 So let's get our lemon juice in here.
05:33 Get a third of a cup of lemon juice.
05:36 Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze in the lemon juice.
05:42 Here we go.
05:45 Smoke.
05:52 Now we're going to add in some --
05:57 a half cup of --
06:04 half cup of chicken stock.
06:15 Half cup of chicken stock.
06:20 Let's whisk around.
06:23 Add some of that brownie.
06:29 There it is.
06:30 Whisk it up.
06:33 When you're making a sauce, you must whisk it.
06:37 To make the sauce come along, you must whisk it.
06:43 All right.
06:45 Cooking up now, we have to add in some capers.
06:47 Oh, look at that.
06:48 Look at that.
06:49 It's boiling up really good, so we'll add in the capers.
06:52 This is --
06:57 This is a quarter cup of capers.
07:01 So let's see.
07:03 Quarter cup of capers.
07:07 Okay, about a quarter cup.
07:09 So we'll add in the capers.
07:11 Nothing escapes when you add in the capers.
07:15 We'll whisk this up a little bit more.
07:25 All right.
07:26 Add in the chicken.
07:28 Put back the chicken.
07:32 The seasoning fell off that one.
07:34 Let me put that over.
07:43 And we have to simmer this for five minutes.
07:46 So let's reduce our temperature, and we'll simmer this down.
07:52 So simmer down.
07:55 We'll simmer this down, and we'll simmer the chicken.
07:59 Let's see how this chicken looks after five minutes of simmering.
08:04 Nice and crunchy.
08:07 All right, so let's take the chicken out.
08:11 Take the chicken out of the pan.
08:14 Let's do another little steamer here.
08:17 All right, we'll take it out of the pan, set it aside, let it cool down for a little bit
08:22 as we continue to make our sauce.
08:25 And into the sauce, we're going to put in a little more butter.
08:33 And now we have to really whisk it up.
08:37 Whisk this bad boy up.
08:41 Whisk, whisk, whisk the sauce.
08:47 We have to whisk it up really good.
08:48 Look at that.
08:49 It says to whisk vigorously.
09:06 Chicken piccata, chicken piccata.
09:11 All right, I think that's where it's supposed to be at.
09:14 So we'll take the chicken piccata, we'll pour it all over this chicken here.
09:21 Chicken piccata, chicken piccata, chicken piccata, a parsley garnish.
09:33 It's almost time to plate the meal.
09:36 All right, time to plate the meal.
09:39 Get a little bit of green beans on our plates.
09:42 Time to plate the meal.
09:46 Get some stuffing to go alongside.
09:50 Time to plate the meal.
09:54 Time to plate the meal.
10:00 And of course, our fine looking chicken piccata.

10:16 There we go.
10:18 So get some of this sauce on here.
10:22 Yes, indeed.
