Chicken Piccata Freezer Meal
Description
The Chicken Piccata Freezer Meal includes flour-seasoned chicken thighs dipped in egg and Italian-style breadcrumbs for a crisp coating. Alongside, a sauce mix combines ground mushrooms, lemon juice, minced garlic, heavy cream, and capers to provide savory, tangy, and creamy elements. Both components are bagged and frozen together for convenience but kept distinct to maintain texture.
The breaded chicken cooks to a golden crisp while the sauce complements it with a smooth and tangy profile highlighted by lemon and capers. This combination creates a rich, flavorful dish with balanced textures from the crunchy coating and creamy sauce.
This freezer meal setup is convenient for planning ahead. Cooking instructions included with the packaged components allow easy preparation from frozen. Freezing the individual elements together helps maintain freshness and quality until ready to cook and serve.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup flour
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Italian style
- 1 cup mushroom ground
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth up to 1 cup
- 1/4 cup capers
- olive oil
Instructions
- Place three shallow bowls out for preparing the chicken.Stir the flour, salt and pepper in one bowl.Beat the eggs together in a second bowl.Place the bread crumbs in the third bowl.
- Dip each chicken thigh first in the flour, coating thoroughly, and then coat both sides with the eggs, and finally with the bread crumbs.Repeat with each chicken thigh, setting the finished thighs in a casserole dish or on a cutting board until you finish.Pack the breaded chicken thighs in a large freezer bag and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms, lemon juice, garlic, heavy cream and capers to a smaller bag, seal well and smoosh the ingredients together. *I like to place the sauce bag inside of the chicken bag before sealing the chicken bag so that they stay together.
- Write or print off the remaining cooking directions on the bag.
