This Chicken Piccata is a lightened-up version of the Italian classic that’s bursting with bright lemony flavor and savory depth. Thin-cut chicken breasts are seasoned and lightly dredged in flour before being pan-seared to golden perfection in a mix of butter and olive oil. A quick pan sauce made with chicken broth, lemon juice, and brined capers adds that signature tangy flair. Topped with optional parsley and grated Parmesan, this dish is easy to prepare yet elegant enough to serve for a special dinner. It’s high in protein, macro-friendly, and ready in under 30 minutes.
