Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken cutlets about 4
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine or additional stock/broth
  • 1-2 tablespoon capers drained
  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour mixture and add to the hot pan. Cook chicken, about 3 minutes each side until browned and fully cooked. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • In the hot pan, whisk in remaining butter, lemon juice, chicken stock, and white wine to create the sauce. Add in capers, parsley, and chicken pieces.
  • Serve chicken with the piccata sauce poured over the top of the pan-fried chicken with lemon slices or wedges, alongside your favorite pasta or salad.

Notes

  • Leftovers. Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. 
  • Freezing. To freeze, place in an airtight container, then transfer to the freezer. It should last for 3 months. 
  • Reheating. When ready to serve, allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge before popping it in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you could heat it up in a skillet.
