Chicken Picatta is made up of a few super simple ingredients that when put together make a dish that’s light, bright, and totally addicting. The key here is that one word: Simple. Classically served with thin scallops of veal, but we are subbing in lightly floured and quick fried chicken in this piccata recipe. The tangy sauce over the top is made with lemon, chicken broth or wine, capers, and butter. There’s really no need to add extra ingredients to fancy this dish up, it is perfect just the way it is.
