Amazing Chicken Piccata

When it comes to pasta, I find it to be one of the most versatile foods. From a sweet and spicy red sauce to a cheesy Alfredo, the options are endless. Today, I'll be sharing my recipe for Chicken Piccata. Here is what you will need:

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)

• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

• ¼ cup capers (drained)

• 1 tablespoon of chopped chives

• 1 tablespoon of thyme.

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

• Extra lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.

2. Sear the Chicken:In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:In the same pan, lower the heat and add butter and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

4. Finish the Dish:Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to warm through and soak in the flavors.

5. Serve:Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with a side of sautéed vegetables.

I hope you give it a try and enjoy!
