Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Partially cut the chicken breasts in half through the equator to create a pocket, leaving one side intact. It should open and hinge like a book.
- Whisk the flour and all seasoning together in a shallow dish. Close the chicken and dredge each breast in the mixture then transfer to a dry surface.
- Open the chicken and add 3-4 asparagus pieces inside each chicken breast then evenly top with Parmesan cheese. Fold chicken closed and secure with toothpicks. Rub extra flour mixture over the top to fix smudges.
- Melt the butter in the olive oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until nicely browned (it won't be cooked through). Transfer chicken to a plate, don't wipe out skillet.
- If needed, drain oil from skillet so you are left with about 1 tablespoon. Add shallot and sauté while scraping up the drippings for 2 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
- Whisk chicken broth with cornstarch and add to skillet along with heavy cream, lemon juice, capers, salt and pepper. Simmer until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add chicken back to pan and cover with foil.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Serve with pasta (I love linguine), rice or mashed potatoes.

CHICKEN PICCATA
Chicken piccata is an Italian-American staple beloved for its piquant flavors cradled in a silky, butter-rich pan sauce. It also doesn't hurt that it cooks up very quickly. This version is mostly traditional except that it uses lemon two ways, calling for lemon slices to be caramelized (to soften their tang) and for a hit of fresh juice at the end (to brighten the whole dish). This ensures a sauce that's neither too rich, nor too puckery. Serve with a starch - pasta, polenta, rice or white beans - for sopping up the sauce, and a green vegetable.

Steps:
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter has melted. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken, place on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces, adding more olive oil if needed.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the shallot and lemon slices to the pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the stock and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, capers and lemon juice, to taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chicken with the sauce poured over the top. Garnish with parsley if desired.

CHEF JOHN'S QUICK CHICKEN PICCATA
From the blog Foodwishes.com, these come from the Chef John repertoire. It's published on another site, but I'm moving it here to get the nutrition data. Chef John says, "These quick and easy pan-fried breasts are topped with a simple pan sauce made with capers, butter, white wine and lemon juice." We concur. Add some whole wheat pasta and asparagus on the side for a weeknight meal that feels very special. The recipe calls for 4 chicken breasts, however, we make two, but still make all the pan sauce. If you're going to do 4, I might increase the sauce.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between 2 layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick. If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a small frying pan.
- Season both sides of chicken breasts with cayenne, salt and black pepper, to taste; dredge lightly with flour and shake off excess. Alternatively, the flour can be put in a tea strainer and shaken over each side of the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; remove to a plate.
- Add the capers to the remaining oil in the pan, smashing them slightly to release brine, until warmed through, about 30 seconds.
- Pour white wine into skillet. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon (or other appropriate tool). Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Stir lemon juice, water (or stock), and butter in to the reduced wine mixture; cook and stir continuously to form a thick sauce, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir parsley though the sauce.
- Return chicken breasts to pan, cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Serve with sauce spooned over the top.
