  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cup chicken stock
  • ⅓ cup cream
  • ½ cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally and gently pounding them to an even thickness. Season each piece with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Dredge the Chicken: Coat the seasoned chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess. This will give the chicken a light, crispy crust when cooked.
  • Sauté to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly. Add the butter and stir until melted. Then, stir in the garlic, capers, lemon juice, chicken stock, and cream. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Combine & Finish: Return the chicken to the skillet and let it cook in the sauce for another 5–7 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly and coat the chicken beautifully. Garnish with chopped parsley just before serving.

Tips

Tips for Making the CPK Chicken Piccata Recipe a Success
  • Pound chicken evenly for quicker, even cooking.
  • If serving to kids, replace wine with broth and lemon juice.
  • Want it spicier? Add crushed red pepper or chopped jalapeños.

  • Let the sauce simmer slowly to develop depth.
