Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Add garlic to remaining oil in pan (there should be about 1 tsp oil left if not just add a tsp), saute just until slightly golden.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your Creamy Chicken Piccata will be. Use fresh, organic chicken breasts, and make sure your capers are briny and your lemon is juicy.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Season the chicken breasts liberally. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the chicken breasts. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you cook the chicken breasts, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken breasts in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken breasts until they are golden brown. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts, or they will become dry and tough.
- Make the creamy sauce. While the chicken breasts are cooking, make the creamy sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until softened. Add the white wine and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the capers and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken breasts to the sauce. Once the sauce is ready, add the chicken breasts to the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are heated through.
Conclusion:
Creamy Chicken Piccata is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and briny capers is sure to please everyone at your table.
