This simple chicken recipes features chicken breasts browned in a skillet then topped with a flavorful sauce of lemon juice, capers, parsley, and vermouth. If you don't want to use vermouth, substitute 1/3 cup of chicken broth. Round out the meal by serving the chicken over pasta with a side dish of steamed asparagus.
Made this last night for company. I substituted dry white wine for the vermouth and doubled the sauce ingredients and capers (you can't have too many capers!). I also added a teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce to give it a bit more body. I brined the chicken breast and pounded them to an even thickness so they would cook evenly. Came out beautifully!
What is the difference between this recipe and chicken piccata?
Easy to make and FAN-TAS-TIC dinner!
The sauce is quite good, but I really butchered the recipe. The video mentions breading the chicken, as well as cooking it in the sauce while finishing. The video also cut the cooking time for the chicken in half from the written recipe. Very confusing for amateur cooks like myself to follow. :(
i've been cooking every recipe in the june/97 edition and have never had any other responses. interesting that so many folks responded to this recipe. yes, it's delicious and easy, maybe that's why.
I made this yesterday and my mom (I'm a teenager and cook for my family 2-3 times a week) insisted that I make it again today. My older sister loved the sauce with the pasta. Very tasty 5/5 stars
This recipe is so easy and so delicious. I added some sliced garlic when making the sauce for an added kick. My chicken took a little longer to cook than the recipe called for, but I just use a meat thermometer to measure the doneness. I served on some whole wheat pasta beds with a veg side. Great to have the leftovers the next day as my lunch also!
A family favorite that is good enough for a dinner party! I serve it on a bed of steamed spinach, the sauce is excellent with the spinach. As a side dish I serve pasta with a little lemon olive oil, minced garlic, chopped tomato and fresh basil.
YUM! This is quick and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and served with pasta as in the photo. It was a great combination. I will definitely make again!
So yummy! I am just learning to cook and this was simple to make. My boyfriend scraped his plate clean. :)
yummy, yummy. This was easy to make and very tasty. I will definitly be adding this to my "favorites" list. I made it with mashed potatoes and used some of the sauce over the potatoes. My husband raved about it.
Very good recipe! My husband loves capers and this recipe was easy to make which I loved! It was "added to the list" and will be made again!
