    I highly suggest undercooking the chicken initially and then letting them come up to temp while in the sauce. After my sauce is done, I add the chicken, Cover, and let it sit on a Low heat for several minutes. They come out super moist and juice!!

    My chicken piccata usually turns out quite bland and I realized why after watching this video. I tried everything as in the video - just added a few tbsp of white wine that I was used to adding and I just could not believe the difference. First of all salting the chicken made a huge difference - the pieces were plump and juicy, then adding the lemon rind and parsley took the sauce to a different level. Thank You. I served it with Rice Pilaf and sweet glazed julianed carrots. No restaurant could make it better.

    My husband dislikes chicken. I love it. He was willing to try this ... and I had everything that we needed except the parsley. I made the sauce without it. Absolutely delicious. I added fresh oregano to half of the sauce --- it gave it a nice resinous punch. I liked it both ways. I have saved this to make again.

      I used to have to make this à la minute in the restaurant I worked at. It basically followed the same recipe, though I'd make it in a sauté pan for one. It came together so quickly because of the high heat of restaurant stoves. The only difference was pounding the chicken thinner to cook it off quickly. We'd cook the chicken, deglaze the pan, add the flavour, throw the chicken back in, plate the chicken, reduce the sauce, add the capers and parsley, dress the plate. Meanwhile, the chef and I were doing the other plates too. I always handled broiler, too. The two of us would do 100-130 covers on a weekend night. I look back on it and marvel.
      We're throwing a birthday party for a friend next Friday and I am doing this version. There are four of us and this will be perfect with a small baked potato and some broccolini. I am going to do a watermelon and feta salad with mint. I'll buy some baguettes, too.
      I can tell they nailed this recipe. Funny, we did sliced lemon in ours also, which is unusual.

  • @richardowens9061
    @richardowens9061 4 года назад +9

    Thanks, for the new way of making chicken piccata! I usually use artichoke hearts along with the capers and garlic. And, just before serving, I crumble crispy fried bacon into the sauce. And, I use about a 1/4 cup of white wine, along with the lemon juice and chicken broth. But, I haven't used the lemon peel. I'm definitely going to try that! As a side dish I usually serve spaghetti with garlic and fresh chopped italian parsely and olive oil.

  • @billk8817

    Wow, that whole lemon with pith and all is awesome! I was anxious, but tried it anyway. Now I just want to bottle the sauce to have it on hand. I did use several recipes (as I always do). I used white wine and chicken broth. I mashed some of the capers as another recipe suggested. The thing I loved the most was the whole lemon with the pith. Funny thing is, I didn't even cook chicken breast, I used the sauce on a bit of rotisserie chicken, and just warmed it up in the sauce. It was the sauce I wanted, and it was awesome!

I'm glad to see your video and you do it as well since it really isn't traditional.

    The recipe in the America's Test Kitchen book cooks this in a different sequence and doesn't put the chicken back in the sauce. It reduces the sauce in 2 sections to thicken it. Either way, this is the best chicken piccata I've ever had. It's delicious...restaurant worthy. I use chicken thighs sometimes and they're great in this recipe. For vegetarians, you can make this sauce and pour it on roasted, pan-seared, or grilled veggies.

  • @murali1981in
    @murali1981in 2 года назад +5

    In case anyone was wondering like me on how much lemon to slice, it was half of the lemon sliced thin plus 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. However i found 3 tablespoon in the sauce to be too lemony so you might have to play around with that. I also found a 10 inch skillet hard to negotiate with 6 chicken pieces (from 2 chicken breast). Particularly when trying to get the chicken in the simmering sauce. I felt i let the sauce simmer for too long. I am going to use a bigger skillet next time.

    Trying this tonight. I totally RELY on you guys for new recipes!!!
    Edit: this turned out excellent: the chicken & the sauce. Love the simplicity. I made this with stuff I normally have in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. No ingredients that you won't use somewhere else within the next 48 hours.
    I do have one small caveat. At the last minute, I discovered I needed a lemon. I went around the corner and grabbed one from a mini mart. It wasn't rotten, but neither was it fresh. The juice it yielded was just fine, but that pith was super bitter. It did not mellow at all in cooking, was inedible. I have cooked other dishes that rely on braised whole lemon pieces with the pith, and they definitely do mellow. I think the freshness of my lemon was an issue. So, if you're not certain about it how long that lemon has been in your fridge, chances are good the juice is fine, but skip the pith.

    That's pretty much how I do it, but I never used the lemon slices. Gonna have to try that.
    Edit: I gave it a try. My wife liked it. It had a bit too much of a lemon punch for me though.

      Literally only a few drops to the sauce...apply lemon for taste directly to breasts before eating for personal preference!

    I like adding brine artichokes and a couple of pitted calamatta olives as well
