Hey everyone! I made this chicken piccata the other night, and it’s seriously one of my favorite go-to meals. Tender chicken in a tangy lemon-caper sauce—it’s so simple yet packed with flavor!

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved and pounded thin)
• 1/2 cup flour (for dredging)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/4 cup capers (drained and rinsed)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another minute, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with pasta or over rice.

It’s light, tangy, and so flavorful—definitely a dinner winner!
