Four-Step Chicken Piccata from Melissa d’Arabian

This is my go-to recipe for an unplanned weeknight meal. It’s super easy—in just four steps you get a family-friendly and company-worthy chicken dinner in minutes. To get extra mileage out of my chicken breast dollar, I like to slice a thick breast into two or three thinner cutlets. I find that three chicken breasts wisely prepped is plenty for serving a family of four. Plus, thin pieces of chicken cook more quickly than thicker ones, meaning dinner gets on the table that much faster. I love the bright citrus flavor and tanginess of the lemons and capers in piccata, but feel free to adjust the ingredients as you like. Be sure to check out the ideas on page 149 for ten ways to switch up this fail-safe recipe. Tip: Cutting chicken breasts into cutlets is easiest when the chicken is slightly frozen.
