We have some weird food allergies & issues, so I made a safe version of Chicken Piccata for us & it was really delicious.
I don’t have a proper recipe, because I use what I have in the moment, so here’s the basics (this served 2)
Base
-I used a rainbow mix of carrots, cabbage, & kale
-lentils (I used a can this time)
Cook the mix in a little oil or butter until soft, salt & pepper, add lentils.
I then divided the mix onto plates
Chicken
In the now empty pan I cooked the 2 chicken breasts until cooked through in a bit of oil until cooked through salting & peppering both sides
Remove chicken from pan ( I placed it on the mix)
Sauce
Butter
Lemon (zest & juice)
Capers I used 3Tablespoons for 2 servings (I love Big Picture Foods- Wild foraged capers, but use what you like)
Cream (optional)
In the same pan add 2 Tablespoons of butter scraping up any brown bits. Add the lemon zest & the juice (carefully). then add in the capers & a dash to a glug of cream if you like. You aren’t really cooking the sauce, just heating it all together. Pour over the chicken & base.
Enjoy
