Chicken Piccata



Chicken Piccata

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 egg
2/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
4 tbs margarine
1 tbs butter
juice of 1 lemon, lemon halves reserved
3/4 cup chicken broth


Cut chicken into tenders.  Place breadcrumbs in one dish and beaten egg in another.  Dip each chicken breast in egg, then breadcrumbs.


Heat 2 tbs margarine over medium heat.  Cook chicken breasts for 3 - 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more margarine as needed. Remove and set aside.

Melt butter in same pan.  Add lemon juice and chicken broth.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes.  Serve sauce over chicken. Garnish with reserved lemon slices.

  2. I do this, but add capers. Always gives it a nice something extra.

    1. I bought my very first jar of capers just to make chicken piccata. Loved it, loved the capers, used the jar up putting them on salad. Next two jars of capers I bought I did NOT love. First jar was small with a vinegary bite. Next two jars tasted like olives. I truly and completely detest olives. Any suggestions as to how to choose capers?
