Olive Garden Chicken Piccata (Copycat)
Olive Garden Chicken Piccata is a pan-cooked chicken breast dish coated in flour, sautéed until golden, and finished in a lemony butter sauce with garlic, shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and cream. The sauce combines tangy lemon juice, savory capers, and creamy elements for a rich, bright flavor that coats the tender chicken cutlets. It’s a balanced dish that pairs well with pasta or rice.
