Dad's Chicken Piccata

This is my dad's recipe- has been wowing people with it for years. I made for him for Father's Day today. Delicious- but still not as good as when he makes it! Give it a try yourself.



4 chicken breast halves

3 eggs

fresh black pepper

onion powder

garlic powder

1/8 cup milk

2 tbsp dijon mustard

1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs

6 tbsp olive oil

8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup white wine

3 tbsp capers

15oz can chicken broth, more if you want more sauce

1 lemon sliced

Trim fat off chicken and wash with cold water- and pat dry completely.


Filet chicken in half to make 2 thinner pieces. Then place in a large ziploc and using a large mallet or something heavy, pound out chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Then you should be able to cut each piece into 3 pieces once thin and large.


Get 3 shallow bowls-

1. Flour 2. Eggs, milk, dijon mustard, onion and garlic powder, pepper- whisk together 3. Seasoned bread crumbs


Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat with olive oil (1 tbsp per batch, you will probably do 3 batches). Coat the chicken lightly with flour, then dip in egg wash and then bread crumbs. Fry up in olive oil, in batches, for about 2 minutes per side. You don't want to over cook, in fact, under cook slightly. Store cooked pieces in a baking dish in a 250 degree oven.


Don't rinse the pan, while chicken stays warm for about 20 minutes, saute garlic in 3 tbsp olive oil. Saute in mushrooms and garlic, for about 10 minutes. Then add white wine, chicken broth and capers. Cook for 5 minutes. Then add lemon slices to the sauce and cook for 5 more minutes.


Pour half of sauce over chicken in baking dish, then serve 1/2 on side for additional serving. Pour it over everything! Drink it with a straw!


This is best served with linguine pasta. Make a sauce for the linguine in a small sauce pan, saute olive oil, garlic, chopped parsley and red pepper flakes until just cooked and toss with cooked linguine. You could even add a 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water as well at the end.
