    Preparation Steps

    1

    Season the chicken breast slices with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium heat. Cook the chicken slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.

    3

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter, then add the capers, grated lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

    4

    Pour in the chicken broth and let the sauce simmer and slightly thicken for 2-3 minutes.

    5

    Return the chicken slices to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

    6

    Serve the Piccata al Limone hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve alongside pasta, rice, or fresh vegetables.
