This recipe is by Jeff Smith and was published in his book “The Frugal Gourmet”. I love chicken piccata and this is a great recipe for it! Adding the onion and garlic really ups the flavor in the sauce.
One of my all time favorite chicken recipes. It really is delicious! The light crust is amazing!

Frugal Gourmet’s Chicken Piccata
Ingredients
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1⁄2 cup flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
2 tablespoons chicken stock (optional)
Directions
Saute the onions, garlic and scallions in olive oil until tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Pound the chicken breasts flat.
Mix the flour, salt and pepper and place in a flat bowl.
Dip the chicken pieces into flour and lightly brown them in butter, 2-3 minutes per side. Add the sauteed onions and garlic.
Over high heat, add the sherry, lemon juice and capers. This should thicken to make a nice gravy for the chicken. If the gravy becomes too thick, add some chicken stock.
Enjoy!
