Lemon Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is a rich and tart simultaneously! Every one of the flavors consolidated in this exquisite chicken dish, make it ideal for pasta!
The sauce itself has a distinctive butter and lemon flavor that, once tasted, is impossible to forget. The capers also give the entire meal a richer flavor.
What is Chicken Piccata
We also enjoy a tasty chicken dish! The white meat is prepared to cook it uniformly, and the cooking method itself provides the crust additional structure. It is a particular Italian dish created with evenly thinned meat. This guarantees that it is also cooked uniformly. Not just the name of the meal, but also that method is meant by the term “piccata.” As a result, you may apply this cooking technique with different meats, such as veal, which is more common in Italy.
The widely used variation in the US uses white meat. In this recipe, the meat is seared after being dredged in flour. The pan drippings are then added to the sauce to give it more flavor.
