Lemon Chicken Piccata
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts (halved lengthwise into cutlets)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large egg (beaten)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Lemon Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
2 tbsp capers (rinsed and drained)
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Lemon slices (for garnish)
Directions
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken cutlets with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Lemon Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and white wine (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes. Add capers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the lemon sauce over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Pair with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
