Chicken Piccata (Lemon Chicken with Capers)

Prep:10min

Recipe video above. If, like me, you find the sauce of other Chicken Piccata recipes too sour, and the chicken kind of bland, I think you'll love this version! The lemon tang in the sauce is pleasant rather than lip-puckering, and the flavour of the chicken is boosted with a little parmesan in the flour coating.

Absolutely perfect chicken piccata recipe.

Made this with fettuccine noodles. Similar to our usual pan sauce with lemon juice & capers added.

The first time was good, though it seemed like a lot of capers to me. The next time, I substituted chopped Spanish olives for capers and liked it even more. It's a bit salty in a good way. I doubled the recipe and froze some for later.

Really tasty and super easy recipe! I couldn't taste a whole lot of difference from the addition of parmesan to the breading, but it could be because I was using an "Italian Blend" and not straight parmesan. Still, very yummy!

Tasty recipe, but the sauce didn't emulsify for me because the wine/lemon juice were still too hot. I recommend turning the burner off completely at the end, waiting a minute, and then putting the butter in. I'll probably end up making this again at some point.

Really nice and easy

Turned out good, we just weren't big fans. Pretty easy to make.

This is delicious & easy to make - first time I did it with cauli-mash but second time with smashed baked potatoes with a little parmesan sprinkled on them in last 5 minutes of cooking - a crowd pleaser! And looks impressive on the plate for the effort needed.

Love this dish but if you are not a lemon/ tart fan this is not for you. Lemon, white wine and capers so its tart but I love tart dishes.

The parts that were edible were delicious! But I didn’t pound the chicken thin enough so the outside was wanting to burn before the inside could cook. Cannot stress enough, you really need to hit this stuff hard and get it good and thin or this will not turn out edible.

Too fatty in taste.

Charlee Eaton· 2 years ago

Forgot to pound the chicken, so the cooking time took a lot longer.
