Chicken with Capers and Lemons (Picatta)
Sun 23 March 2025
A great weekend night dinner. Chicken picatta features thinly sliced, sauteed chicken (thighs) with a rich sauce made from butter, white wine, lemon and capers. Picatta traditionally is made from Veal in Italy, but rich boneless, skinless chicken thighs stand up well.
Piccata in Italian means pounded. The spelling has drifted a bit around the cooking world.
4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless. Pound them to an uniform thickness
dread the thighs in flour (seasoned with pepper and salt)
Brown the thighs in butter or olive oil.
The sauce is made using the pan drippings; lemon juice and white wine or chicken stock are added and reduced. Add capers and the zest of the lemons.
