Chicken piccata is an Italian-American favorite and one of the easiest weeknight dinner recipes to make at home. Thinly sliced juicy chicken breasts (“scallopine”) are dredged in flour, seared with a golden crust, then simmered in a lemon butter sauce with a touch of capers and parsley. It’s a beautiful and tasty dinner that comes together quickly!
In other words, chicken piccata is the perfect fusion of Italian cooking in America. Traditionally, piccata is an Italian dish consisting of thinly breaded veal (or other proteins) with a lemon butter wine sauce. But today we’re using chicken, and I’d say we’ve perfected this dish that’s dotted with garlic, capers, and fresh parsley. The more herbs and garlic, the better, right?

Very good! My wife is recovering from surgery and thought she'd tease me about making her chicken piccata for dinner, so I did; thanks to this recipe and we both enjoyed it. I didn't have white wine handy, but I did have a bianco Vermouth and that didn't harm the recipe!🎉
