Chicken Piccata in Lemon Sauce with Vegetables

Piccata is an Italian word used to describe a method of cooking in which meat or chicken is sautéed and served in a sauce. Today, I’ll show you how to make chicken piccata using chicken breasts. The secret is all in the sauce, which makes the chicken incredibly tender and juicy 

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 3 tbsp flour

• 1 1/2 cups frozen vegetables (I used carrots, green peas, and corn)

• Vegetable oil for frying

For the Sauce

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1/2 cup white wine

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 2 tbsp butter

Steps

1. Pound the chicken breasts to flatten them

2. Combine the salt, pepper, and flour

3. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture

4. Cook over medium heat in vegetable oil in a well-heated pan, about 4–5 minutes per side

5. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and cut them into pieces

6. Reduce the heat, add the lemon juice and wine to the pan, and simmer for 2 minutes

7. Add the chicken broth and butter and simmer for another 1 minute

8. Add the frozen vegetables and simmer for another 1 minute, stirring occasionally

9. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, season with a little salt and pepper, and toss to combine
