Step 1
Prepare 2 chicken breasts by butterflying them and pounding them flat. Sprinkle HALF the salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the exposed sides of the chicken.Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a medium sized skillet on medium-high. Place the chicken breast seasoned side down in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the bare side of the chicken.Step 3
Place a lid over the chicken and cook both sides until it’s cooked through - about 4 minutes per side. Once done, transfer the chicken to a clean surface to cool.Step 4
Keep the skillet on the heat. Toss the spinach and broccoli into the pan and coat it in the juices the collected. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the broccoli becomes a little tender and gets a golden edge to it.Step 5
*Transfer the cooked veggies to a bowl or plate. Return the skillet to the stove once more over very low heat. Melt in the butter. Place in 3 slices of lemon and the capers. Put a lid on the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes so a sauce developes. There should be little to no simmering.Step 6
Return the two pieces of chicken and the veggies to the skillet. Get the ingredients coated in the sauce and replace the lid. Let the ingredients heat through on low heat.Step 7
Enjoy hot! Make sure to pour any leftover sauce in the skillet over your chicken and veggies.

This was very delicious I used a little chicken broth because there wasn't enough sauce. I also par steamed my broccoli before adding it to the skillet. I will keep this as one of my favorites.

I added about 1/4 cup chicken broth to my vegetables it was to dry. I also didn't have spinach, so I substituted with asparagus. Other than it being dry I would've given it a 5 star.

Delicious! No lemons, so added lemon juice to form the sauce.

Sooooooo gooooood! Just made this, added fresh minced garlic to the sauce instead of garlic powder on the chicken. Also added 1/4 chicken bone broth and juice of 1 lemon to make the sauce. Like others have said, definitely restaurant quality!

I'm making this for my whole family, do I double the sauce?

I think all you do is change the number of servings in the box and the recipe adjust the ingredient amounts. 😀

I was hesistant of this recipe bcuz my wife loves chicken piccata. I used the tips to adapt meal for sauce, veggies and garlic choices. It was an easy to follow recipe and delicious. It was too delicious, in fact, because my wife wants me cooking it more often.

This was very good!! Gave it 4 stars for lack of sauce, but read the comments before I made it and added some chicken bone broth. Served it with creamy herb cauliflower rice. Delicious!! !

Very tasty. I microwaved the frozen spinach and broccoli b/c I didn’t think there was enough liquid. (Didn’t see the hint of adding broth). I doubled the recipe and if doing again, I would add more spinach. The recipe was definitely restaurant quality!

Very good. I took some hints from below. We had double chicken so added the broth. Hubby loved! Will make again and again.

This was really good. I took others’ advice and added an extra ounce of broccoli and 2 more ounces of spinach. I measured out a 1/4 cup of chicken broth and used a splash with a little butter to cook vegetables (i didn’t seem to have any juices/liquid after removing chicken) and the rest with the butter and lemons to make sauce. I squeezed a little juice from the lemon i had left after slicing.

I’ve made this three times. First with broccoli, second and third time no veggies. The sliced lemon and caper sauce is good. I added fresh chopped garlic and some chicken broth to increase the amount of sauce. It also helped get the tasty bits of cooked chicken (fond) off the pan. I make this weekly. Very good!

I’ve made a lot of chicken piccata recipes. This was great with no flour or wine. Really tasty. I’ll make it again often.

Is this for one person? 2 chicken breasts?

Excellent and very tasty. I didn’t have capers so used green Olives. I doubled the butter and added some extra lemon. Next time I’ll double the veggies too. Husband really liked this too -he put it over rice.

Great recipe didn’t have capers - so used olives.
MirthfulKetone385092 3 years ago
It definitely is a very nice recipe which I will cook in future
MirthfulKetone385092 3 years ago
I am confused is this a serving for one person or two as i had half of the chicken breast and it only weighed 112 grams so it seems to me its only one serving for the whole cooked meal

Really good. The only change I made was doubling the butter. My husband said “This was restaurant quality”!

This recipe was very good, although I did modify it by adding extra butter, an extra squeeze of lemon juice, and 1/2 C of heavy cream to meet my fat Macros for the day.
