Classic Chicken Piccata
For a fresh and zingy chicken recipe, try my Classic Chicken Piccata. Piccata is an Italian dish, and a pretty famous one at that. If you see a dish with ‘piccata’ in the title, it will usually mean that the meat (or fish) has been sliced and gently sauteed, before being served in a sauce of lemon juice, butter and capers. It’s rich and buttery, but the lemon and capers give the dish a sharp, sour note which helps to balance it, making it deliciously fresh.
In my version, I flour the chicken medallions before frying them, so they get properly browned, adding lots of extra flavor.
Chicken piccata is a great weeknight dish, served alongside mash or crushed new potatoes to soak up all that delicious buttery sauce!
To make Classic Chicken Piccata, you will need the following ingredients:

Ate this cold at work today for lunch but it was still delicious even if i couldnt warm it up.
Italian food is my favorite and this classic piccata is my top 5 for sure, the first favorite being the italian stuffed chicken which I put some sundried tomatos in too.
Can't wait to find more meals just as tasty as this, thanks cookme.
Juicy and buttery just like it says in the description, perfect lunch or dinner for two!
Thanks to a meal made simple my dinner turned out absolutely fabulous!!
Took a bit longer than the estimated time to cook the chicken throughly but it was perfectly spiced up and affordable so i'd reccomend it for sure.
Chicken piccata is really good and even made a cheesy garlic bread as a side dish for this which goes pretty well.
Totally loved it! my kids also devoured the entire thing which was a good sign that i did something right lol.
My first time ever making Italian food, wish me luck!
I added a bit of mozzarella and paramesan cheese on the top of this meal which made it even more flavorful and delicious, would recommend adding any type of cheese to it since the chicken and spices go well with the taste :)
Super zesty because of the amount of lemon in this recipe but it was tasty nontheless though when i make it again i'll be cutting down on the lemon.
Had this with yellow rice rather than pasta to make it a lighter meal.
Takes too long to make, it took me two hours rather than 1 and 20 minutse.
Very satisfying meal and healthy too though a little less lemon juice wouldve gone a long way.
Too much parsley ruins the taste would recommend 1 tbsp only insted of 2.
Loving all the meals on this website super tasty and simple to make.
