The ingredients needed to make Chicken Piccata:
- Make ready 1 large chicken breast (or 2 small), pounded to 1/4" and sliced in 4
- Take 3 tbsp extra light virgin olive oil

Instructions to make Chicken Piccata:
- This dish works up very quickly when it gets started. My biggest HINT - have all your ingredients ready before you start.
- Heat oil in pan on medium high heat. I gave 3 tablespoons as a guideline but it depends upon the size of your pan. I have a 12" pan so I use 3 tablespoons.
- Salt & pepper each piece of chicken then dredge in flour making sure to shake off excess flour. Hint: if you have an electric stove oil takes awhile to heat; so you be the judge as to the timing.
- Saute cutlets 2-3 minutes on one side, flip saute cutlets with COVERED pan 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to warm plate or cover with foil. Pour off fat but not the bits that collected from chicken that's where all the flavor is.
- Add wine and garlic - stir scraping pan to loosen up bits. Cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid is nearly gone - about 1 minute, or so.
- Add broth, lemon juice and capers. Return cutlets to pan & cook 1 minute on each side. Transfer cutlets to a different plate (for sanitary reasons).
- To finish recipe - Add butter and lemon slices to pan. Once butter melts, give a quick stir and pour over cutlets. Optional - garnish with only fresh chopped parsley.
