Description

A delicious twist on the classic chicken piccata, featuring juicy chicken breasts, vibrant lemon flavors, and a savory caper sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  2. Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the chicken breasts in the flour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown the chicken on both sides.
  4. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, add capers, and simmer until cooked through.
  6. Finish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For more flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and garlic before cooking.
  • Serve with pasta or rice to soak up the sauce.
