Chicken Piccata with Capers for a quick and easy Sunday Supper

Generally, on Sundays either we visit my sister’s family for dinner or visit my husband’s Mother for lunch. On other Sundays it is just the two of us.  This was one of those Sundays where it was just Hubby and me.  So I did the cooking on this Sunday.

Chicken Piccata with Capers makes a quick and easy Sunday Supper.

I chose to make the Quick Chicken Piccata by Chef John on AllRecipes.com.  It is quick and easy as well as healthy and delicious, and easy to scale down for just two people.  What’s not to like? The chicken is seasoned and dredged in flour and then browned in oil in a skillet.  It then creates a sauce with chicken broth (or white wine if you prefer), lemon juice, capers, and mushrooms.

I did modify the recipe slightly by using seasoned salt instead of regular salt, chicken broth instead of wine and adding garlic powder to the seasoning.  It was delicious.  I served it with green beans and penne pasta.  Hubby and I both liked it and will likely have it again.  It is also quick and easy enough to serve on a weeknight as well.

Chicken Piccata

As part of the AllRecipes.com Allstar program we have been asked to participate in the Sunday Supper movement by having supper with our family once per week and serving recipes from the healthy MyPlate collection from their site. The goal is to encourage families to sit down together to supper for a healthy meal once per week.

What are you and your family having for Sunday Supper?

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the chicken browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; remove chicken from the skillet to a plate.
