Classic Chicken Piccata with Tangy Lemon Sauce

ADVERTISEMENT

Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets. Pound lightly between plastic wrap to even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Dredge in Flour:
Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, shaking off excess.

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

Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce slightly reduces.

Finish the Sauce:
Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted and sauce is glossy.

Serve:
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and warm briefly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
