Garlic Chicken Piccata is fast, fresh, flavorful, and ready in just 30 minutes. Reminiscent of a restaurant favorite, you’ll love the creamy lemon garlic sauce that complements the tender chicken in this one pan meal!
If you love easy chicken dishes, this is quite possibly the best chicken piccata recipe.
Chicken piccata is an American favorite, and for good reason. Juicy chicken, enveloped in a creamy sauce and cooked until golden. What’s not to love?
I’m no stranger to all things chicken…these honey garlic chicken legs, creamy parmesan mushroom chicken, and chicken alfredo pasta bake are on repeat in my kitchen.
And if you haven’t noticed, I’m not a fan of plain, boring chicken. In fact, I rarely order it at restaurants because it often lacks in flavor.
Until I tasted this lemon chicken piccata recipe. I knew I had to recreate it and make it fast and simple. And add lots of garlic, of course.
The chicken piccata sauce is what dreams are made of, friends. The classic recipe is creamy and loaded with flavors of lemon, garlic, and butter. It’s irresistibly delicious and perfect for drizzling over pasta or rice.
