Best 3 Baked Chicken Piccata Recipes

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Add butter to a large cast iron skillet and place into the oven to allow butter to melt - careful not to burn the butter.
• In a shallow dish combine flour, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix to combine.
• Season chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and black pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and mix bone broth and lemon juice into the melted butter. Place the flour-seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and sprinkle with capers. Spoon some of the melted mutter mixture over the chicken.
• Return skillet to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. If the skillet liquid evaporates too quickly, add additional bone broth and lemon juice.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Carefully pour wine into the bottom of the skillet. Broil chicken until lightly browned on top. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.

BAKED CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine lukewarm water and salt in a large bowl, stirring until the salt dissolves. Add chicken cutlets and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove chicken and pat dry, discarding brine.
• Season each cutlet with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour; shake off any excess flour. Place seasoned and floured cutlets on a plate.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
• Heat half the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high-heat until butter is melted and oil is shimmering. Add 4 floured cutlets and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Bake chicken cutlets in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• While chicken bakes, heat the original skillet over medium-high heat for the sauce. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and cook, stirring constantly, until a spoonable consistency is reached, about 4 minutes.
• Drizzle sauce over the baked chicken to serve.
