Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a boil and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. 4

    Combine and Finish

    Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Add chopped parsley before serving.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken piccata with vegetables of your choice, drizzling the lemon caper sauce over the top.
