If you have properly made homemade stock, you’ll have a better dish, but we understand that’s not for everyone. Chicken Stockįirst, let’s talk about stock. The other ingredients are chicken stock, lemon juice, capers, and wine. We will go into more detail below on the cooking method. You want to use a stainless steel fry pan, like the Calphalon Premier™ Stainless Steel 10 inch Fry Pan pictured here, because you will be making the sauce in the same pan and all those delicious browned bits from browning the chicken will add tons of flavor to the sauce. What you use to cook the chicken is also important. We cut ours horizontally for the thickness we prefer in this dish, but chicken tenders are a great option here as well. The meat is sometimes pounded to flatten and tenderize it, but isn't as necessary to do with chicken breasts. Piccata can be made with chicken, veal or pork cutlets with outstanding results. We can assume you’d eat the chicken you’re using with just a little seasoning, so you should be just fine with this massive flavor addition! Specifically, we are referring to the chicken stock and the wine. So, what are the keys to victory here? Unlike many dishes, this one doesn’t have a ton of ingredients so the quality of each ingredient will certainly count. We absolutely love Italian flavors and this Chicken Piccata with Caper Lemon Butter sauce served with fresh pasta will transport you right to Italy! What you need to make amazing Chicken Piccata Mark's Italian heritage and growing up with his Italian grandparents' recipes, along with our travels to Italy have made Italian cuisine our favorite to cook and eat. Piccata is one of our all-time favorite dishes.
