Chicken Piccata
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup arrowroot flour
- 2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter, separated (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 shallot or small onion, sliced thin
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Place arrowroot flour in a wide shallow bowl and set aside.
- Pat chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in the arrowroot flour, shaking off the excess flour. Transfer to a plate.
- In a skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add chicken to skillet, working in batches if needed, to brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. Add more oil between batches if necessary.
- Once chicken has finished, turn heat down to medium and add shallot and garlic to skillet and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, broth, capers, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits and stirring to combine.
- Turn down heat to simmer and add back chicken, cooking until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add parsley, taste and add more lemon juice if desired.
Recipe Notes
- If more sauce is desired to serve over pasta, double ingredients for sauce.
- Can sub ghee instead of butter!

Made this tonight and it was delicious and so easy! I subbed tapioca powder for the arrowroot because that’s what I had on hand and it worked great. I paired mine with green beans (I’m keto) and my family had it over spaghetti noodles. Pinning this to for sure make again.
Thank you!
When life gives you lemons, make this EPIC dinner!!
Love this lemony dish!
Me thinks I might have to make this!
YES!!
I haven’t made chicken piccata in years! I need to try this ASAP!
you have me craving this and those garlicky green beans. Perfect week night dinner
This was so easy and delicious! I think I would pound the chicken to be a bit thinner next time. But I will definitely be making again!
This was absolutely delicious!! Chicken breasts are so freaking enormous these days, I cut each breast into 2-3 pieces and then pounded them flat. That also made it nice for serving. I served with roasted asparagus and very simple boiled red potatoes tossed with butter and parsley.
Ghee and butter are considered to be dairy. I have anaphylactic reactions to anything with milk or a milk derivative in it. I would use a truly vegan buttery spread instead.
I love this recipe so darn much!! The flavor is absolutel perfection, especially with vegan butter, paired with brown rice, that ate up that sauce, and green beans was devine! Great meal for detoxing too. Thank you!
