Discover the zesty delight of Chicken Piccata in this easy-to-follow recipe that promises a tantalizing mix of tender chicken, capers, and fresh lemon. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a sophisticated gathering, this dish will impress with its bold flavors and simple preparation.
Heat olive oil and a bit of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add minced garlic, and after a few seconds, deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up any tasty bits. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and capers. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Simmer for a couple more minutes to let the flavors meld. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra lemon slices.
