Chicken Piccata is a delicious and tangy dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a lemony caper sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup capers, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  2. On a plate, mix the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the capers and let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Reduce heat to low and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Let it cook for an additional minute to warm through.
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta or rice for a complete meal.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice based on your taste preference.
