Chicken piccata is an Italian-American dish, usually made with chicken breasts or cutlets that are dredged in flour, then sautéed in butter and olive oil. It is typically served with a sauce made from lemon juice, white wine, capers, and butter. This recipe collection includes three variations on this classic dish:

* **Classic Chicken Piccata:** This recipe follows the traditional method of preparing chicken piccata, using chicken breasts, flour, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, white wine, capers, and parsley.

* **Chicken Piccata with Green Onions and Mushrooms:** This recipe adds green onions and mushrooms to the classic chicken piccata recipe, creating a more flavorful and colorful dish.

* **Country-Style Chicken Piccata:** This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, giving the dish a more rustic flavor. It is also cooked in a cast iron skillet, which helps to create a crispy crust on the chicken.

All three recipes are easy to follow and can be prepared in under an hour. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.

2 split (1 whole) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 extra-large egg
1/2 tablespoon water
3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
Good olive oil

1/2 cup dry white wine
Sliced lemon, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Skillet Chicken With Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions image

This comforting one-pot dinner is reminiscent of a rich French onion soup, but made in less time and with lighter ingredients. Cooking the onions in a hot, dry pan forces them to release their moisture, so that they shrink and become silky and sweet in 30 minutes. Serve everything directly from the pan, with some crusty bread to soak up all the juices, or shred the chicken and pile it on top of buttered noodles. For something green, stir in some spinach to wilt at the end or serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted broccoli.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or dill leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino (optional)
Bread or cooked pasta, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
  • Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs: This will make the dish easier to prepare and cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts or thighs to an even thickness: This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor to the dish and help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause the chicken to steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking: This will save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready to serve when the chicken is done.
  • Use a combination of white wine and chicken broth: This will add flavor and depth to the sauce.
  • Add capers and green onions to the sauce: These ingredients will add a salty, briny flavor to the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken piccata over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken piccata is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and capers and green onions makes this dish a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, chicken piccata is sure to be a hit.
