Chicken piccata<\/strong> is an Italian-American favorite and one of the easiest weeknight dinner recipes to make at home. Juicy chicken breasts are dredged in flour, seared with a golden crust, then simmered in a lemon butter sauce with a touch of capers and parsley. It’s a beautiful and tasty dinner that comes together quickly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Chicken Piccata?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt \u2014 chicken piccata is the perfect fusion of Italian cooking in America. Traditionally, piccata is an Italian dish consisting of thinly breaded veal (or other proteins) with a lemon butter wine sauce. But today we’re using chicken, and I’d say we’ve perfected this dish that’s dotted with garlic, capers, and fresh parsley. The more herbs and garlic, the better, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we’re big fans of this Tuscan chicken<\/a> or chicken Marsala<\/a>, this chicken piccata recipe is another Italian-inspired favorite. It’s juicy, lemony, and just what you need to give chicken breasts a fresh new lift at dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
