Bring an elegant, Italian restaurant-quality classic to your dinner table with this bright and savory Chicken Piccata. This simple recipe slices poultry breasts lengthwise, coats them lightly in flour, pan-frys them golden, and simmers them in a glossy, lip-smacking sauce of chicken broth, real butter, capers, and fresh lemon juice.
This bright poultry main course shares its refreshing city-and-butter flavor profile with our favorite high-protein griddle stacks, matching the notes in our Lemon Berries Pancakes. If you enjoy traditional Indonesian chicken main courses simmered slowly with sweet soy sauce and ginger, check out our comforting Semur Ayam (Sweet Chicken Stew).

Key Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts Slices: Cut lengthwise and pounded uniform to guarantee the white meat cooks up in just minutes while staying tender and juicy.
- Fresh Lemon Juice & Zest: Injects a naturally sharp, highly aromatic citrus punch directly into the pan juices to cut through the heavy butter fats.
- Briny Flower Capers: Scattered into the simmering sauce to deliver a wonderfully unique, salty, and traditional Mediterranean burst depth.
- Flour Dredge Coating: Forms a paper-thin, light skin on the chicken that helps thicken the broth into a luxurious, glossy pouring glaze.
