How To Make chicken piccata

  • 1
    Cut the chicken breasts in half and pound into cutlets; season with salt and pepper; then dredge in flour. Coat a saute pan with nonstick spray; add oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Saute cutlets 2 - 3 minutes on one side. Flip cutlets over and saute the other side, covered, 1 - 2 minutes. Transfer cutlets to a warmed platter; pour off fat from the pan. Deglaze pan with wine and add minced garlic. Cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid is nearly evaporated; about 2 minutes.

    Add broth, lemon juice, and capers. Return cutlets to pan and cook on each side for one minute. Transfer cutlets to warm plates. Finish sauce with butter and lemons. Once butter melts, pour sauce over cutlets. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

    I used three boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them in half. I also did not have capers so just used the minced garlic and this was fine. This is a very easy recipe to make and the cutlets are so tender that you can cut them with a fork. ENJOY!
