One of my Favourite Dishes: Chicken Piccata Recipe

One of my favourite dishes ever to order when we go out is this: chicken piccata. I love the flavour combinations of capers and lemon and wine with chicken served on a bed of noodles. Of course there is always just a tiny hint of olive oil in the mix to make this dish, and the chicken, super moist and succulent. I wish I had a dish of it handy right now actually. This, and chicken masala, are two chicken dishes I could exist on. No question, chicken is a staple in many family homes at dinner time. It is versatile and fairly inexpensive. Plus it really absorbs spices and sauces to become flavourful and lovely.

So today I thought I might share with you the my chicken piccata recipe. It might be what’s for dinner this weekend because even just looking at the pictures here makes me crave this dish. Incredibly, chicken piccata recipe is easier to make than you might think. With the exception of the capers and maybe the white wine vinegar, you might have most of these ingredients on hand already.

Give it a try. I think you will enjoy this one as much as I do. Capers are actually one of my favourite ingredients to add to several dishes I love. I add them here, of course as detailed below and then I also add to some salmon dishes as well.
