Lemon Chicken Piccata

March 27, 2017 By Jen Cowan Leave a Comment

Boy do I miss my kitchen. We have been up to our ears in a full kitchen renovation for the past three weeks and we’re finally in the home stretch of getting our counter tops, back splash and lighting installed. I’m over going out to eat, fast food and all around packaged stuff. I want to cook! Knowing that one of the things I love to do was going to be put on hiatus, I made it a goal to make a lot of home cooked meals and a few date night ins before we couldn’t enjoy our kitchen any longer. 

One of my favorite meals, especially for a date night in is Lemon Chicken Piccata. It’s one of those meals that has good memories for me, and I think we had it at our wedding. Don’t quote me on that – we had a big buffet. Chicken Piccata is one of those meals that is so easy to whip together and looks like you were cooking for hours. Often times we feel guilty always calling a babysitter for a date night, so years ago we started implementing date nights in. Jeff picks a great bottle of wine, we put Miss H to bed and I whip up a yummy late dinner and away goes all technology. It’s a great way to reconnect regularly. 

I generally have all the ingredients on hand for Chicken Piccata too. 

Chicken Piccata – Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breast cut length wise, or 8 chicken cutlets
  • 3 Tablespoons of butter
  • 1/4 cup Flour + 1 TBSP
  • EVOO
  • 1 Lemon –  Zest & Juice
  • 1/3 Cup Dry white wine or Chicken Stock – I like a Chardonnay – but use what you like, and you’ll drink with dinner.
  • 1/3 Extra Chicken Stock
  • 1/4 Cup Capers
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Italian Parsley
  • 1 lb Angel Hair Pasta

If using chicken breast, cut lengthwise for 2 long pieces. Use a meat mallet and pound to quarter inch thickness. You want them thin! Season with salt and pepper and lightly coat in flour.  Heat heavy bottom pan with 1 TBSP EVOO and Butter until golden on each size. Approx 3-4 mins. Remove chicken and repeat until all chicken is done. Keep chicken warm under foil or in oven.

In a pot prepare 1 lb angel a hair pasta as directed on box. Typically 5-7 minutes till al dente. 

Add 1 TBSP of Butter to pan and whisk 1 TBSP of flour to make a roux. Add wine and chicken stock, lemon juice and bring to boil. Add capers, lemon zest, parsley and last TBSP of butter to give the sauce shine. 

Plate the dish with angel hair pasta on the bottom, 2 chicken pieces and then sauce on top. Garnish with parsley and lemon. Enjoy!

So there you have it. Easy Lemon Chicken Piccata you can make in under 30 minutes. In the great words of Ina Garten – How easy is that?  

Do you have date nights in? Do you ever have any special requests for your dinner?

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
