Classic Chicken Piccata

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Chicken Piccata.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your ingredients and grab a mixing bowl.

2. Step 2

   In this bowl, combine the flour, salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper to create a flavorful coating for your chicken.

3. Step 3

   Take each piece of chicken and dredge it in the seasoned flour, making sure every nook and cranny is well coated.

4. Step 4

   Once coated, give the chicken a gentle shake to remove any excess flour—this will help achieve that perfect crispy texture.

5. Step 5

   Next, heat a generous pat of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   You want the butter to be hot but not browned, creating a lovely base for your chicken.

7. Step 7

   Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet, allowing them to sizzle and cook until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through, which should take about 10 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Remember to turn them frequently to ensure even cooking and that delightful golden color.

9. Step 9

   Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, remove it from the skillet and keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.

10. Step 10

    Now, let’s make that delicious sauce! Pour in some white wine, and as it hits the skillet, use a wooden spoon to scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom—this is where the flavor lives! Stir in fresh lemon juice, then reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring often until it thickens slightly.

11. Step 11

    Just before finishing, toss in some capers for a burst of flavor, and then return the chicken to the skillet, turning it to coat in that luscious sauce.

12. Step 12

    When you’re ready to serve, arrange the chicken on a beautiful platter, drizzling it generously with the sauce.

13. Step 13

    For a lovely touch, garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of vibrant parsley.

14. Step 14

    This dish not only looks stunning but also brings a delightful burst of flavor to your table.
