🍋 Chicken Piccata Recipe – Classic Italian Lemon Chicken

Chicken Piccata is a classic Italian-American dish made with tender chicken breasts, pan-fried until golden, and served in a bright, tangy lemon-butter sauce with capers. It’s a quick, flavorful recipe that’s perfect for weeknight dinners yet elegant enough for entertaining.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced horizontally into cutlets)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tbsp capers (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken – Slice chicken breasts into thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
  2. Pan-fry – Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce – Deglaze the pan with white wine (or broth), scraping up brown bits. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Finish with butter – Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter for a silky sauce.
  5. Combine & serve – Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Over spaghetti or angel hair pasta
  • With mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables
  • Alongside garlic bread and a crisp salad

❓ FAQs about Chicken Piccata

Q1: Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes! Boneless thighs work well and add more flavor, though cooking time may be slightly longer.

Q2: Do I need to use wine in the sauce?
No. You can substitute with chicken broth for an alcohol-free version.

Q3: Can Chicken Piccata be made ahead?
It’s best served fresh, but you can prepare the sauce in advance and reheat with the chicken before serving.

Q4: Is Chicken Piccata gluten-free?
To make it gluten-free, dredge the chicken in cornstarch or gluten-free flour instead of wheat flour.

Q5: What pasta goes best with Chicken Piccata?
Angel hair or spaghetti pairs perfectly with the light lemon-butter sauce.
