CHICKEN PICCATA
1 lb. thinly sliced chicken breast
2 tsp. olive oil
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 thin slices of lemon
2 tsp. capers
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over a medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan, seasoned side down.
Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes or until it has lightly browned (be sure to season opposite side of chicken while it’s cooking) and then flip over and cook another 2 minutes on the opposite side.
Add lemon juice, wine, and capers to the pan then top each chicken breast with a slice of lemon. Reduce the heat, pop the lid and simmer for 3-5 minute until chicken has cooked through.
Plate up chicken and top with remaining sauce. Enjoy!

Hi, i have a question, can i use tilapia instead of chicken?
Can i kae this without wine?
Capers 101???
Dani is there anything you could replace the capers with? I don’t have them
on hand. Also- why didn’t we use garlic in this recipe/? I notice that
garlic, salt and pepper are staples in your kitchen! So I was curious.
Thanks!
Mmmmm that looks good
I have been making chicken piccata for years with flour dusting lots of oil
and butter. But I think besides toning down all the oil and no flour,
putting a piece of lemon on each piece and simmering for 5(I did 10)
minutes is key. When I bit into the tender lemony chicken it was
unbelievable. Definitely worthy of a dinner party. Thanks for a great
recipe Dani!!
I just made a note of it:)
I’m a big believer in choosing a wine you would want to drink. (besides
-what would you do with the rest of the bottle if you did not wan to drink
it;)).
I already did –> I can’t post the link here but just type in ‘dani spies
pesto’ and it will come up!
