Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This ensures even cooking.
- 2
Season and Dredge
Season the pounded chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
Cooking
- 3
Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- 5
Add Capers
Stir in the capers and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Garnishing
- 6
Finish with Parsley
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken piccata before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
