Chicken Piccata Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

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

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Finish the Dish

   Return the chicken to the skillet and add capers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir in the remaining butter until melted.

5. 5

   Cook the Pasta

   Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and toss with olive oil and remaining minced garlic.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the pasta and top with the chicken piccata. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and pasta, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
