Chicken Piccata has always been one of my husband’s favorite dishes. The tart lemon, salty capers, butter, and white wine are the perfect combination of flavors. We typically serve it over pasta, but you can also serve it with homemade mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes.
One thing to remember about Chicken Piccata is that it cooks quickly. It really helps to have all of your ingredients laid out, and even have it measured out if you can.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup flour
Salt and Pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 3 lemons
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 box pasta
2 tablespoons capers
1 tablespoon dried chopped parsley
Boil water for noodles.
Melt butter and olive oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Mix flour, salt, and pepper together and dredge chicken in flour mixture.
When butter is melted and sizzling, reduce heat to medium and fry chicken for about 5 minutes on each side. (Frying time for chicken will vary depending on thickness. Be sure to cook chicken thoroughly.)

This is one of those dishes that will make your family want to gather around your dinner table and hang out a while. Make it for them often. Talk about life with them. Dream big dreams with them. Enjoy your time with them.
