Chicken Piccata is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender, thinly sliced chicken breasts lightly dredged in flour and sautéed until golden. The dish is finished with a tangy and vibrant lemon-caper sauce, often enriched with white wine or chicken broth. It’s a simple yet elegant recipe that pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or fresh vegetables, making it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a sophisticated meal. The bright, zesty flavours and buttery richness make Chicken Piccata a timeless favourite.

Now THAT looks good! And I just bought a bagful of chicken at the market – guess what we're having for dinner one night this week! Thanks, Rik! And Happy New Year!
Looks amazing!!!
Happy New Year Rik! Way to start with my favorite dish. Laughed at your dusgust with the sorry-looking piece of chicken. That bird just celebrated a bit much last night. And i bet it's just as delicious.
Wünsche dir und all deinen Lieben ein frohes neues Jahr 🍀🎉🥂. Vielen Dank für das leckere Rezept 👌😍
That looks delicious. Wonderful sauce. Thanks, Rik. Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉🎆
A favourite to start the new year. Yum.
Happy New Year Rik. Looking forward to watching your videos in 2025.
I have a friend who's back at work tomorrow and I'm not, so I said I'd go round and cook her tea afterwards. Looks like this is going to be it, and I've never used capers before but always been tempted to try them. Great work again, Rik!
Oh goodness Rik, I was thinking this would be a better white fish dish when I saw the picture. Now watching the video, this looks so good. Thank you for sharing. Hope your new year is starting off great.
Happy New Year to all🎊
This is an easy, flavorful way to make chicken😋
Thanks for another great recipe, Rik💕
Hi Rik and fellow subscribers, just wanted to say thanks Rik, I blame your recipe for Baileys for my lack of ability to concentrate on this delicious recipe. I best watch again tomorrow me thinks. Happy New Year all.
🎉Happy New Year Rik to you and your family! I wish you all the best for 2025 health and prosperity!
Thanks for all your good recipes and cooking tips.
Kind regards from Austria Alice
Superb! Restaurant quality. What a fab dish….final dish looked sensational. Love it.
Happy New Year sir!
What a delicious dish to see on your channel. Last summer my granddaughter and her new husband treated both families to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Kansas City. I ordered their chicken piccata. As a sort of southern person with only having had fried chicken or chicken and noodles, I ordered this just to surprise myself. It was one of the most delicious meals i had ever eaten. And here you have an easy recipe for me to make. And just as doon as I get my smell and taste back from having the flu, I'm treating my family to your recipe. You make things so easy. Thanks ever so much. And a Happy New Year 🎊 to you ,Chef Rik.
Happy New Year to you and yours Rik. Of course you don’t waste anything, you’re a Yorkshireman lol. The only thing they waste is the moths in their wallets hehehe! Just kidding Rik, I absolutely abhor waste in any capacity. That looks delicious and as I’m really hungry as I’m watching, I could happily eat it now. xx
This is an absolutely beautiful and I’m sure tasty meal. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you so very much from America.
Happy New year. This is one of my favorite chicken dishes. Thanks.
Rik
HaPpY New Year 🥳
You’d Rock a Mohican hair style
This is a great dish(you slapped that chicken around like it did something to you lol). Italian American food is of course not genuine Italian. Those old folks had to adapt to the new country, and what was available and cheap…that doesn't mean it's not delicious. Good one Rik 🙂
Fantastic. I love bright, citrusy flavors. Piccata is a favorite of mine. Yours looks beautifully balanced.
thank you, looks great.
Happy New Year and the best for 2025!
Happy New Year!
My dad used to make something similar,using pork chops and part cooked under the grill.
This looks well tasty,so ingredients will definitely be in my next shop.
Mmm looks so good
Ric, now I am lost…… I always thought you want the leftover parts when making a sauce…..
As an Italian American myself I appreciate Rik making the distinction between our cuisine and Italian cuisine. They're related but not the same, sort of like how British Indian food is related to but not the same as Indian food. This dish is a childhood favorite. Rik's recipe isn't quite the way my grandma made it but if I got this in a restaurant I'd be pleased with it.
Happy New Year Rik. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
Wasting parm not in my DNA, lol! Mahalo, Rik- Happy New YEAR, HAOULI MAKAHIKI HOU!
Love any sautéed chicken breast recipes, just delicious.The independent pizza shops all make a variety of these sort of chicken breast recipes. All Italian American in style, all delicious. Good start to 2025, see you later.😊
