Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for free-range, organic chicken breasts and fresh lemons.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for cooking the chicken and sauce. This will help to prevent burning.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that the chicken is juicy and flavorful.
  • Add the lemon juice, capers, and butter to the sauce just before serving. This will help to brighten the flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken piccata immediately with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
