Woodie's World Famous Chicken Piccata
posted by Woodie many times at the Cooking Forum
Printable Recipe
4 chicken breast halves, boned and skinned (I cheat and buy the thin sliced chicken cutlets!)
salt and pepper
flour (enough for coating)
3 tablespoons butter
juice of 1 lemon
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
Put a piece of waxed paper on the counter and place chicken on top. Use a meat pounder, the side of a saucer, the unsharpened side of a heavy knife or other object to pound the breast into a thin piece that’s uniformly thick (about an inch). Salt and pepper the chicken generously, then coat with flour. Melt butter in a large skillet and brown chicken on both sides.
Remove chicken from skillet. Add lemon juice, chicken broth and wine. Boil down until it’s about one-half cup. Place chicken back in skillet, cover and cook 3 minutes. Remove cover and serve.

How funny, that is what we are having for dinner tomorrow night, we love the stuff...the only difference is I toss in a few capers.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very tasty,Carol!A favorite family supper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious recipe! It's really good one. I will try this soon. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I love lemon, but just don't have wine most of the time. Guess I could use chicken stock... Zucchini spaghetti looks like something I'd love too-fun presentation:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice meal idea; love it

Looks delicious! John loves this dish and the gently lemon flavor. I should make your recipe for him :)
ReplyDeleteYes those high school years fly by, don't they :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the julienne zucchini "pasta" as a side.
that looks yummy...wish I had some now.
ReplyDeleteSo simple and so good. I usually thrown in some capers . . . but that's just me. :) I like the look of that spaghetti too.
ReplyDeleteLove picatta, chicken or fish...they are just so appetizing and delectable.
ReplyDeleteThat seems so easy. I am always looking for new chicken recipes and this is one I haven't tried yet. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGarlic is good.
ReplyDeleteLook delicious I love garlic! gloria
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good quick go-to dish. We are very fond a leg quarters and I think I'll try it with them. (Besides, I have a bunch I bought last week when they were 79 cents a pound.)
ReplyDeleteI love it too! I don't use Woodie's recipe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day!
What a wonderfully light dinner! I need to try this recipe! I like Marigene's idea of adding a few capers too.
ReplyDeleteFunny, this is also a go-to recipe for me...I think everyone likes it! I would have to add a spoonful of capers though.
ReplyDeleteLooks tasty. Haven't had this dish in a long time.
ReplyDeleteOMG that zucchini spaghetti sounds to die for!! Must try :) Did I mention I love garlic? ;P
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so few ingredients. Next time I open a bottle of white wine, I will set aside for this, never tried this
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity! it is such a great dish
ReplyDeleteI hate to be stupid, but I've never made it with chicken! And I eat so much chicken too. Definitely trying this next week, Carol.
ReplyDeleteA favorite for sure. I love that it is an easy meal to throw together, yet elegant at the same tome. Great company dish too!
ReplyDeleteThsi sounds like a great go to meal! I think this wouldbe something even my picky eaters would like too. I'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, and I think my picky eater would like it too. Bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteI love chicken piccata!! I never make it at home but often order it out. How fun that your daughter is applying for college, such a fun time in their lives.
ReplyDeleteIt's my go-to chicken dish too when my mind draws a blank. Also a fan of Woodie's recipe.
ReplyDeleteYummm, nice and simple but flavorful dinner. have a nice day
ReplyDeleteThat's simple enough for even me to make!! I remember Miss Picky making this..time flies!
ReplyDeleteME
Chicken and lemons seems to made for each other! I love the way the Julienne zucchini look too!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Carol, my sweets, Chicken Picatta has all my favorite components in it. And I want to make it, now.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I don't remember seeing that zucchini/ spaghetti before.
You're slowly killing me, but how could I ever report you to the authorities?
It must be chicken picatta week. We are having it tonight :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the lemony white sauce that chicken piccata drowns itself in. This sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteNice!!
ReplyDeleteI've never made chicken this way before and your recipe looks really easy! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteI love piccata, it's such a satisfying dish.
ReplyDeleteGreat touch with the zucchini "pasta". I totally agree that lots and lots of garlic will take it to another level.
Looks delicious, that is one of my favorite chicken dishes. The spaghetti looks very tasty as well!!
ReplyDeleteI know we would love this. The zucchini pasta is an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteCarol, This looks and sounds wonderful! I haven't had piccata for ages. Garlic is my "go-to" cooking partner, so the zucchini spaghetti w/lots of it puts me in heaven! Thanks for sharing.
