Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce – A Zesty Delight

Serving: Pair with pasta (such as spaghetti or angel hair) or serve alongside sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes, or a crisp salad for a well-rounded meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Variations:
Chicken Thighs: For extra juiciness, try using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
Herbs: Add fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or oregano for added flavor in the sauce.
Garlic Butter: For a richer sauce, incorporate minced garlic before adding the lemon juice and broth.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use bottled lemon juice?
A: Fresh lemon juice provides a better flavor, but if you have to, bottled lemon juice will work in a pinch.

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: It’s best to serve this dish fresh, but you can prepare the lemon sauce and chicken separately ahead of time, then combine them when ready to serve.

Q: Is there a substitute for capers?
A: If you don’t have capers, you can use chopped green olives or simply omit them, though capers give this dish its signature flavor.

This Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce is the perfect way to add a burst of citrus to your dinner table while keeping things simple yet flavorful. Enjoy!
