Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Piccata
This Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Piccata is a cozy Italian escape to your weeknight dinner table. Juicy chicken breasts are bathed in a tangy lemon garlic sauce, kissed with butter, and ready in a flash. Let the aroma fill your kitchen with warmth, as you savor each bite.
Step 1: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 3: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4: Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 5: Add the remaining butter to the same skillet. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 6: Pour in chicken broth, add capers, and the juice of the lemon. Bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
Step 7: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
Step 8: Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices and fresh parsley if desired.
