Ina Garten Chicken Piccata

The chicken piccata recipe by Ina Garten is a wonderful and simple dinner option. It consists of boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been pounded thin, breaded, and then fried until golden brown.

The sauce is then flavored with lemon juice, wine, and parsley. This chicken dish pairs well with cooked pasta, potatoes, rice, and vegetables of you’re choosing.

Ina garten Lemon Chicken Piccatta

Ina Garten’s chicken piccata features a lemon sauce consisting of white wine, lemon juice, and butter, as you can see from the ingredients list below. White vinegar will be used in this lemon chicken piccata since I don’t use wine. However, if you’re okay with it, feel free to use white wine.
