Chicken Piccata Recipe

This homemade Chicken Piccata Recipe is so tasty. The chicken is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the buttery, creamy sauce compliments it so well. Chicken Piccata is one of my favorites of all time. This chicken piccata is great to serve over pasta or with a side of creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

▢ Salt and black pepper to taste.

▢ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided

Instructions

How to make Chicken Piccata:
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste. I decided to use 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of two of black pepper.
Then, dredge the chicken into some flour. I use ½ cup of all-purpose flour and I coated each piece of the chicken breast on each side. Place the pieces on a plate and set aside.
Next, in a large skillet over medium-high heat place 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Place the chicken pieces in the pan, I made them in two batches to not overcrowded the pan.
Cook each side for 2- 4 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. I have very thin pieces so for me, it took 2 minutes for each side to brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place them on a plate.
Keeping the stove on, proceed to make the sauce using the same pan which has those brown bits of flavor. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and then pour the combination of lemon juice, 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium), and ⅓ cup capers which I had conveniently ready in a mixing cup.
Add the chicken back into the pan and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the flour from the chicken release into the sauce making it creamy. In the end, I decided to add ⅓ cup of white wine (this is optional).
