This dish is a favorite of mine and my girlfriend! While it is easily changed to accommodate a full family meal by adding more chicken and upping the ingredients, it's simple and delicious enough to make for a meal when it's just you and that special someone. :) NOTE: While it's not necessary, I prefer to serve this dish over angel hair pasta or spaghetti. It does just as well with a side of broccoli and a salad, for those of you trying to be more mindful of your carb intake!

How To Make lemony chicken piccata for two
-
1Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place a serving platter into the oven to warm.
-
2Season the chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them in the flour. Shake off excess flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet; pan fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches and do not crowd the skillet, adding oil as needed. Place the chicken pieces onto the warmed platter in the oven. When finished frying all of the chicken, drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the surface of the pan.
-
3Cook and stir the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth. Scrape and dissolve any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon slices and bring the mixture to a boil.
-
4Let cook, stirring occasionally., until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Drop the butter into the skillet and swirl it into the sauce by tilting the skillet until the butter is melted and incorporated. Put the chicken back into the pan for a minute then remove from the heat. Add the parsley and serve.
