Chicken Piccata is an Italian classic that features tender chicken breasts coated in a tangy lemon sauce. The dish is typically served with pasta and makes for a comforting and satisfying meal. The addition of capers gives it a briny and slightly bitter flavor that balances out the acidity of the lemon juice. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Whether you're a fan of Italian cuisine or just looking to mix up your dinner routine, this Chicken Piccata with Fettuccine recipe is sure to please.

Instructions

1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite (al dente), about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2.In a shallow dish, combine the flour and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dredge the chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
3.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
4.Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. In the same skillet, add white wine, lemon juice, water, and chicken bouillon granules. Cook and stir, scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until sauce is reduced, about 3-4 minutes.
5.Reduce heat to low and add capers. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes more, until sauce is slightly thickened and capers are heated through.
6.Pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve with fettuccine, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley for garnish.
