How to Make Chicken Piccata Recipe?

  • Mix flour, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a large plate. Coat the chicken slices with flour and place them on a serving plate.
  • Melt the olive oil and butter together in a large pan. Fry the chicken meat in hot oil over high heat, turning it upside down, until it gets a light color.
  • Place the fried chickens on a serving plate. Add the hot chicken broth to the remaining oil in the frying pan and stir.
  • Then boil the sauce in which you add lemon juice, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add whole or finely chopped capers to the pan.
  • Add the butter to give consistency and shine to the sauce, stir until it melts. Finally, add the fried chickens to the sauce mixture into which you add finely chopped parsley.
  • Place the chicken meat, which you continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, with its sauce, on a serving plate. Serve the chicken breasts added to the sauce hot without keeping them waiting. Share with your loved ones.
