Chicken piccata

Piccata is an Italian dish of thin pan-fried flour-dredged meat in a sauce of lemon juice, butter, parsley, and often capers. In Italian cuisine piccata is prepared using veal (piccata di vitello al limone, lit. 'veal piccata with lemon'), whereas in Italian-American cuisine, chicken is more commonly used. A similar dish, pesce spada con capperi e limone, is made with swordfish. Piccata, the past passive participle of piccare, literally means 'larded', 'seasoned', or 'pounded flat'. The meat is cut into thin slices and flattened to an even thickness with a tenderizer. It is seasoned and dredged in flour before being browned in butter or olive oil.
