Thin-Sliced Chicken Piccata — Bim Bim Cooks

Thin-Sliced Chicken Piccata

Tender breaded chicken cutlets finished in a bright lemon, butter, and caper sauce.

Ingredients
  • 6
    boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  • 3 tbsp
    Dijon mustard
  • 2
    large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups
    seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup
    vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup
    chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp
    fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp
    capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tbsp
    unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp
    fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of mastic (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • If needed, pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness.

  • Whisk together the Dijon mustard and eggs.

  • Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.

  • Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumbs.

  • Cook the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.

  • Wipe the skillet clean if needed.

  • Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, capers, and butter. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced.

  • Return the chicken to the skillet and coat both sides with the sauce.

  • Serve immediately with rice or pasta, spooning the extra sauce over the top.
