Real Simple Chicken Piccata with Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts is the kind of dinner recipe that manages to do a lot: it’s satisfyingly rich from a buttery sauce, it gets protein from the chicken, and it hits a cozy, comfort-food pasta note. Even better, there are not one but two vegetables mixed in.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. Chopped fresh oregano
1 tbsp. Capers, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp. Fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 cup Unsalted chicken stock
8 oz. Fresh Brussels sprouts, quartered
8 oz. Fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 tbsp. Unsalted butter, divided
1 tsp. Black pepper, divided
1 tsp. Kosher salt, divided
4 Chicken breast cutlets
8 oz. Uncooked orzo pasta

Method

01

Cook orzo according to package directions. Meanwhile, season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
02

Add chicken, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Reserving drippings in skillet, transfer chicken to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
03

Return skillet to medium-high; add remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir until melted. Add mushrooms and Brussels sprouts; cook, without stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes.
04

Add stock, lemon juice, capers, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; bring to a simmer, and cook 1 minute.
05

Serve chicken sliced, over orzo and vegetables. Spoon sauce over the top and garnish with oregano.
