Chicken Piccata is a classic Italian dish that is both delicious and elegant. It's a perfect choice for a dinner party or a special night in. In this gluten-free version, we'll show you how to make a mouthwatering Chicken Piccata that is not only safe for those with gluten sensitivities but also full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts until they are an even thickness. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge each piece in the gluten-free flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly, then stir in the butter until it has melted and the sauce has thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to heat through for a minute or two.
- To serve, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the chicken. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
This gluten-free Chicken Piccata is a crowd-pleaser that is sure to impress your guests. It's a dish that looks and tastes gourmet, yet it's simple enough to make on a weeknight. Enjoy!
