Try this tangy and tender Lemon Chicken Piccata. It's so easy to make and so delicious! Piccata is a meat that is pounded thin, sautéed and served in a sauce. The dish originated in Italy using veal, but in the US, chicken piccata is more popular.

2In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter with the olive oil, over medium to high heat.
3Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 min per side until browned. When chicken is cooked, remove chicken from skillet.
4Remove skillet from heat. Add lemon juice, chicken stock or wine, capers and scrape up the brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Return skillet to heat and bring to a boil.
