Tender and crisped breaded chicken fillets are fried in the air fryer while you make a simple lemon butter sauce infused with great tang from the capers to drizzle over the top.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons capers with liquid, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare your dredging station by placing the eggs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and garlic powder in a bowl and whisking to blend.
  • Next prepare your flour mixture by combining: flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt in a wide and shallow bowl (or pie plate) and stirring with a fork until well blended.
  • Pound your chicken fillets out (cover in plastic wrap first and use a meat mallet) until uniform and thin.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the bottom insert of the fryer with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated air fryer until no longer pink in the centers and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 14 minutes.
  • While chicken cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in chicken broth, remaining lemon juice, and capers, starting with 2 tablespoons, adding more capers to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow to simmer and reduce slightly while the chicken cooks. Sauce will be thin.
  • Serve the chicken with the lemon butter sauce drizzled over the top.

This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to new flavors. My kids loved the chicken piccata, and they even asked for seconds. I'm so glad I found this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken piccata turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken. I'll try again next time and see if I can get it right.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts in the air fryer on Sunday, and then I used them to make chicken piccata on Monday night. It was a quick and easy meal, and it was just as good as if I had u

I was a little skeptical about making chicken piccata in the air fryer, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken came out perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. The chicken is always crispy and juicy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love that I can make it in my air fryer, which makes it a healthier option than traditional fried chicken.

This dish is so flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is perfectly cooked, and the sauce is rich and creamy. I served it over pasta, and it was a hit with my whole family.

I'm not a big fan of lemon, so I omitted the lemon juice from the sauce. It was still really good, but I think I would have liked it even better with the lemon juice.

The chicken was a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try using boneless, skinless chicken breasts next time to see if that makes a difference.
