Chicken piccata is an Italian dish that consists of chicken that is dredged in flour, sautéed in butter, and then topped with a tangy lemon and caper sauce. The chicken is first seasoned with salt and pepper, then coated in flour and cooked until golden brown. The sauce is made with chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, and is simmered until it thickens. Chicken piccata is typically served with pasta or mashed potatoes.
