Healthy Food : Chicken Piccata✨️

Hi, lemons!! Chicken Piccata is a delicious and flavorful dish that not only satisfies the taste buds but also offers several health benefits. This classic Italian dish features tender and lean chicken breasts that are pan-fried in a light and tangy lemon-butter sauce.

Chicken is a great source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue, as well as supporting overall health. The lemon in the sauce provides a burst of vitamin C, an antioxidant that boosts the immune system and promotes healthy skin. Additionally, the capers in the dish are rich in antioxidants and may help lower inflammation in the body. Overall, chicken Piccata is a nutritious and delicious choice that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

Step-by-Step Chicken Piccata Recipe for Beginners:

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1/2 cup chicken stock

- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

- 1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed

- Fresh parsley for garnish

2. Prepare the Chicken:

- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

- Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.

3. Cook the Chicken:

- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.

- Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

- Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

4. Make the Sauce:

- In the same skillet, add the chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers.

- Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

- Let the sauce cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Serve:

- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.

- Garnish with fresh parsley.

- Serve the chicken piccata hot, with your choice of sides like pasta, rice, or vegetables.
