Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Making Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a mouthwatering dish:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2. Season and Dredge: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
7. Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute to heat through.
8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the chicken to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Following these steps will ensure your Chicken Piccata is delicious and visually appealing.
