chicken piccata pasta

Quick and easy, creamy lemon chicken piccata is a simple and delicious 30-minute meal made with tender chicken breast in a light lemon sauce with capers.

Creamy Lemon Chicken Piccata

chicken breasts (1 lb. total) boneless and skinless

salt

black pepper

teaspoon Italian seasoning

all-purpose flour

vegetable oil

tablespoons butter

garlic,

chicken broth

heavy cream

capers

tablespoon lemon juice

fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

lemon wedges, thinly sliced (for garnish)

dry pasta

potatoes

Slice each chicken breast carefully in half lengthwise (horizontally) and place one at a time, between 2 sheets of plastic cling wrap or in a ziploc freezer bag. Carefully flatten the chicken breasts with a rolling pin until they are approximately 1/4-inch thick. Don’t pound the breasts too hard, as it could tear them apart. Ideally, you want flattened chicken breasts with uniform thickness.

Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Then, dip the chicken in a shallow bowl of flour and evenly coat both sides. Set aside on a plate.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high for 2 minutes until the oil is sizzling and shimmering.

Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature for the chicken should reach 165F. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to do this in two batches. Rest the chicken on a plate.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and flour and mix well until the sauce is smooth and uniform.

Add in heavy cream, capers, and lemon juice. Turn the heat down to medium low and bring the sauce to a simmer until thickened to a desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Stir continuously if the cream curdles because of lemon juice, until smooth.

Return the chicken to pan and toss well to coat. Let the chicken cook with the sauce for another minute and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.

This dish was so delicious. I have been making your recipes multiple nights in a row. The lemon cream sauce was perfect and not overpowering. So glad I found your site.
