Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Sauce

    In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add lemon juice and capers, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine

    Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and simmer for an additional minute.

  5. 5

    Prepare Salad

    In a salad bowl, add arugula, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chicken piccata with the arugula salad on the side and garlic bread.
