Chicken piccata is one of those dishes that tastes fancy but is actually easy—bright lemon, savory capers, and a light buttery sauce that soaks into every bite. Slice two chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets and season with salt and pepper. Coat lightly in flour. Sear them in 2 tbsp olive oil for about 3 minutes per side until golden, then remove. In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter and sauté 3 minced garlic cloves for 30 seconds. Add ½ cup chicken broth, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 2 tbsp capers. Let it simmer until slightly reduced. Add the chicken back in and spoon the sauce over it for 2–3 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread. It’s tangy, buttery, and incredibly comforting.
