A delightful twist on the classic chicken piccata, this recipe combines zesty lemon, fresh herbs, and savory capers for a flavorful dish.
Juice one lemon and slice the other into thin rounds; set aside.
Using fresh lemons enhances the flavor of the dish.
Place the chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
Even thickness ensures uniform cooking.
Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Seasoning the flour adds flavor to the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
Cook until the onion is translucent for the best flavor.
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and cook in the pan until golden on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, then add lemon juice, capers, and the sautéed onion mixture.
Scrape the pan to incorporate all the flavorful bits.
Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Simmer gently to avoid overcooking the chicken.
Garnish with parsley and lemon slices before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and presentation.
