Olive Garden Chicken Piccata (Copycat)
Description
This Chicken Piccata begins with halved chicken breasts seasoned with kosher salt and ground black pepper and lightly coated in flour. The chicken is pan-fried in olive oil and butter until golden on both sides and cooked through. After removing the chicken, minced garlic and shallots are sautéed quickly to release aroma, followed by deglazing the pan with chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. The sauce is reduced until thick enough to coat a spoon. Additional butter, sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed capers, and heavy cream are incorporated to enrich and round out the sauce’s flavor and texture. Finally, the chicken is returned to the pan and coated with the thick sauce for a brief finish before serving. Parsley can be sprinkled on top for garnish.
This preparation yields a tender chicken with a creamy, tangy sauce that features the savory tang of capers and the sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes. The dish is suitable as a main course served alongside pasta, rice, or vegetables.
