Chicken Piccata Recipe | Simply Recipes

Ingredients: all we need are capers!

  • 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 pound total)
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or dry white wine
  • 1/4 c. brined1/8 c. capers in balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

When I got to the store, all they had were capers in either plain vinegar, or balsamic, not brined (unless that’s the same thing… ).

The recipe calls for either butterflying thick chicken breasts, or pounding them out to about 1/4″ thick. This makes for a really satisfying Monday night meal, because the sauce is really rich and savory, and you get to whack the heck out of the chikkins!
