The name of this dish might sound intimidating in terms of preparation, but it’s not. Chicken Piccata is one of the easiest and flavorful ways to prepare chicken. The process involves 2 steps: pan-frying the coated chicken breast and making a lemon and wine-based sauce.
This recipe can also be applied to other kinds of meat. In fact, the original piccata recipe uses veal. This also goes well with pork chop and tenderloins.
What is the best side for piccata? Since this dish has a sour sauce, I usually have this with salad and feta cheese. This can also go well with steamed asparagus. In terms of carbs, chicken piccata can be enjoyed with any type of pasta. You can cook spaghetti of fettuccine and place the chicken on top. Don’t forget to pour additional sauce.
