Chicken Piccata Recipe - How to Make Chicken Piccata - Chicken with Lemon Caper Sauce

[xd0rablex]

made this recipe! tastes awesome and it goes well with rice! :) thanks

[JomAnimatie]

So i made this today, and i have to admit it was very tasty. Just the chicken altough very juicy just didnt had like a good crunchy layer on top of it. But keep it up and i enjoy making your recipes!

[licho3440]

Love it, I want to run to the store right now. Damn it- Butter is not allowed on my diet. So Sad.

Nevermind

[Spageddio]

I've made this twice now and it's fantastic. My question is my sauce keeps coming out thick almost like a vinaigrette, is it supposed to be like that? Either way, it taste amazing.

[googo151]

Broken Chicken breast, "Idiot Garsh"! Sorry just had to drum up a little Napoleon Dynamite! LOL!

[DemotivationalLipp]

PICATTA FOR MY BUNGHOLE

[TheTinyMatt]

i just made this recipe and everyone loved it =) thanks John!

[toughsuga2]

When would you use olive oil versus extra virgin olive oil?

[tru2Seattle]

@toughsuga2 Chef John has stated that extra virgin olive oil should only be used for salads and in dressings and vinaigrettes or drizzled over bruschetta for example and never cooking in some past videos he's done. Regular olive oil is preferred for frying and cooking.

[TtonyArra]

@toughsuga2 extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point than regular olive oil. So it burns at a lower temperature, and loses it's strong flavor. Regular (or even Light) olive oil is less flavorful and has a higher smoke point, so it holds up better to heat. You only use EVOO as a finisher when you really want the taste of the olive oil. You CAN cook with it, as I often do, but you have to be careful about using it with high heat. If it starts to smoke, you just ruined the oil.

[0078rana]

he said not extra vergin oil.......ok



[tiptopluongo]

@0078rana Extra virgin olive oil is usually used in dressings, or garnishing, not actual pan frying as he is.

[zhen97liang]

what is the red powder called at 0:38 ?

[Acherus1432]

@zhen97liang cayenne

[velvetteddyxo]

Watch Chef John just Pound those breasts(:

[Floressa]

I had this at a restaurant last night and loved it so I'm gonna make it tonight using your recipe. :^p it's mouthwatering!

[xoxoerikaxoxo88]

i just made this! ITS DELICIOUS

[misau37]

such a nice pan^^ I see you use it in a lot of videos! I want one xD

[azizataurus]

thank you chef john..and God bless

[cfzamorano]

I need piccata for my bunghole

[superninjasarah712]

people are dumb :P when you boil ANY kind of alcohal...the alcohal completely dissolves! so if your below the age of 21, or you just don't drink, you can still use the wine.

[ncide]

@superninjasarah712 You mean "evaporates" not "dissolves".

[superninjasarah712]

@ncide Yes, that's exactly what I meant....

[paulskful]

I stopped watching once he said "white wine". -_-

[CAROLC84]

@paulskful I've never done this with white wine. I used chicken stock instead and it is delicious. I got the recipe from Giada DiLaurenti from the food network. It's so good!

[Skullchaser08]

@paulskful Stupid faggot.

[blarrajay]

can I substitute the wine with water or something else?

[TheViciousVendetta]

As long as it has butter in its name, lots of butter is justified. Love it. <3

[DJKJSeph]

I made it. I loved it. This and Chicken Marsala are now my favorite.

[GuitarBillT]

The dish doesn't look good???

Are you kidding me, Chef John?

The dish looks delicious. Bravo!

[sarahjf2007]

I love your vids- thank you for simplifying these delicious dishes for us; my 14 yr old daughter & I are going to choose one recipe every weekend to make together :)

[EkAks]

What can be substituted for wine and lemon juice? 

[Mizcolombiana89]

Can you do crab cake?? I love your channel!!!!! I'm going to be a professional cook when i'm done watching all your videos.

[CeceKali]

looks sooo beautiful!

[YoBoiNewnue]

I just did this the other day. And I recorded it, thanks chef.. I will post it to my channel and do a video response

[allthislove02]

i don't wanna use butter.what is the alternative?

[simplychic1]

what can i use besides white wine?

[yourdowg]

@simplychic1 chicken stock is how i learned to deglaze the pan. never tried white wine before but, it looks to do exactly whit this did. oh and i never added the water in mine.

[simplychic1]

@yourdowg oooo thanks! i'll try to make this for dinner tomorrow :)

[maaachinima]

DAYUM. Chef John has big breasts.

[creamylemon]

My family now demands this every 10 days! TY Chef John ^.^

[Ivegotmymojoworkin]

[BettinaBalser]

You always manage to be funny and informative. I have learned so much from you, Chef John.

[bluetextonwhitebg]

So we don't dip the floured chicken into egg mixture? I'm gonna do it anyway. Don't try to stop me, damn it!

[hmcomsat]

"stop laughing its not funny...",lolz. You are a funny guy. great recipe too ill def. make it right now im too busy drooling over it as i try to fall asleep.

[elusive73]

This is so full of AWESOME! Totally making this ASAP

[nickj13luva]

what can i replace for the white wine???

[sakarim]

i have the same question.

[Heishikaze]

Maybe make duck with roasted potatoes in some kinda cider sauce?

[FrugalRevelation]

Chef John, I made this for a dinner party...it was delicious! We were blown away of how good this was! :)

[OuterSpaceRave]

[EmmetLBrown88]

@OuterSpaceRave You Forgot Mcdonald's which stay 24hrs lol

[JomAnimatie]

[ReiraHitorio]

[RevDest58]

[orlylazar]

[sal85ibr99]

[KewpieGirl]

[68trace]

So simple and delicious!!...made it with roasted asparagus and fluffy rice

[gojuryukarateka]

[jimmychauv]

You can try olives.

[sven619mysterio]

what is the subsitute for cappers?

[jellovette]

Ok, I tried this recipe again because the first time I forgot the lemon juice. It was even better and I served it with mashed red potatoes and asparagus.

[c41v1nch4ng]

i'm making this tomorrow

[Lanvill]

Nice, looks tasty. Going to try this next week. What was that you had on the back of the plate to go with it?

[Ericec4126]

I made that dish, so so good. I got a ? about cookware. I just bought a calphalon contemperary cookware set is stainless steel cookware better than non stick?

[nadeeyaafiza]

LOL where's the lemon?

[Hinoarashii]

@nadeeyaafiza 2:31 He uses lemon juice :)

[nadeeyaafiza]

@Hinoarashii I did not notice it yesterday because i was worried about the white wine :)..thanks..

[nadeeyaafiza]

Chef John,

Is there any substitute ingredients for white wine?

[101eng]

Hello chef John, sorry but I have a question. Do you put your camera on a stand? are you the one who zoos in and out while cooking or someone helps you recording?

[jellovette]

Oh, I forgot the lemon juice, but it was delicious without it.

[jellovette]

ohhhhhh, Chef John!!!! This was so good. My son really appreciated this dish.  Thank you. I look forward to trying more of your dishes. Mwah!

[iLikeCookie88]

I love how you talk! You're so cheerful!

[emir895]

ha you uploaded this video on my b-day

[justbecause4873]

i love how you're hilarious. you deserve to be on tv

[basilwhite]

Where's your Food Network show?!?!? WTH!?!?!??

[sandyny]

i made this and it was waayy to sour (from the lemon)

try less lemon for any1 whow ants to try this

[xxxdids]

man you rock,this is food porn.

[Jacq93088]

what else can you use besides white wine?

[sckew]

@Jacq93088 If you're avoiding even cooked alcohol, a chicken stock or a rice vinegar would probably do, and you could toss in some raisins to get some of the grape flavour back.

[Rockymcj]

Chef John, you're my hero. I want to grow up to be just like you.

[jngwatson]

That looks so good.

[Tijopi11]

1:48 omg i was drooling WHILE eating grapes lol.

[Deathartist666]

I'm thinking about doing something like this sauce with my steak tonight. But using Japanese togarashi peppers instead of capers.

[Deathartist666]

@Deathartist666 I did it with the steak and togarashi... AND IT WAS AWESOME. Just salt and pepper on the steak though before the frypan. AWESOME!

[j3nnyisfunky]

thanks chef john! i was just wishing you'd make this!! ive been craving it!

[jetlxix]

I was making piccata one evening and realized that I forgot I was out of capers. I chopped some firm, small black olives and the dish was quite tasty. Chef John is right though, there really is no substitute for capers.

[clairebear0713]

whatev' chef john! the 'money shot' looks great!

[khmerboylenex]

never watch this and man vs food at the same time you'll die of hunger even after eating a whole turkey

[ramanaa88]

i dont think the chicken was fully cooked

[Tokushimaz]

@ramanaa88 He's a chef. He knows how to do it.

[blacksilversss]

what's my food wish? seriously? you show me this and you still need to ask?

[Nyjets7007]

i have a question im a muslim and we cant use red or white wine because of the alcohol. Does cooking the wine denature the alcohol or would i get a "buzz" from eating food with white wine

[clairebear0713]

@Nyjets7007 no buzz. cooking it does not take out all the alcohol out but it defdinately will not give you a buzz. Dont worry, I dont drink either.

[WoundedEgo]

@Nyjets7007 I thought Muslims preferred heroin?

[RagnarockVI]

omg i hate u i hate u.... i'm sooooo hungry now ..... and i have just eaten !!!!

[JaylaZeeJay]

Do we have to use white wine???

[ThomasJohnRachko]

can you adopt me and be my cooking mr. miyagi?

[Lizzy0o]

I know this sounds stupid but can you make chicken noodle soup?

[DefconBravo]

Quick question chef, whats the point of reducing the wine if you're gonna add water? Thanks in advance :)

[BuranLyoko]

Caper are one of the odd ingredients that stores might actually have. My local Wal-Mart actually has them located by the olives and stuff.

[WoundedEgo]

Nice, John.

The only thing I would do different is to not use plastic. New research shows that people are getting a great deal of plastic contamination in their food. Just clean your pounder and do it on a wooden cutting board.

We all need to rid our kitchens of plastic.

[clairebear0713]

@WoundedEgo I read that its only the plastic in the microwave, or heated plastic that was dangerous...

[samanark]

I make chicken breast about 4 times a week or more, so it's always good to have another recipe. I will definitely give this a try (probably put it in rotation with the chicken french recipe). Chicken, sauce with tons of butter, what's not to love?

[DeviantCharles]

If you don't want the caper flavor, but want some of the texture, certain olives will meet the criteria.

This recipe is great with most white fish as well.

[Blindedbythelight]

ITS BUTTER SAUCE, so its fine.

its just an extra 800 calories, its fine.

[silksarii]

its a butter sauce. so its fine.

[lauweroos]

Looks a bit like the chicken french recipe! Which was awesome, so this will be great too!

[WillDance4Food]

yummy yet super simple recipe. I made it yesterday and devoured them with a side of white rice. Thanks Chef John! p.s. question about butter separation in the sauce...why does it happen and how can I prevent it? thanks in advance.

[CrazyBunnyAnya]

this is so amazing!

[lp4ju]

I've seen my mom pound meat before like you did....I don't cook and I'm curious why this is done?

[BusRider55]

@lp4ju Pounding meats flat is done for one or two reasons.The first reason is when the meat varies significantly in thickness from the edges to the center, as with chicken breasts, if you cook it so the center is cooked well, the edges are over-cooked and tough and dry, or if you cook the edges perfectly, the thick center is raw.The second reason, usually for beef, is also that pounding helps tenderize the meat a little.In both cases the thinner meats cooks faster so expect shorter cooking times

[lp4ju]

@BusRider55 thanks

[Kebabsoup]

Mhhh you always use cayenne in your recipes. I should really get some...

[iwannaddr2afi]

Oh but it DOES look good, if you've eaten it before. :):) Thanks for sharing your recipe, as always!

[kuta4eva]

Hey Jon, I have tired quit a few recipes and they are all awesome, for this recipes any thing to alter wine? i'm muslim so i can't have any thing alcholic!!! i wanna try this recipe but with out wine. pls let me know what can be use insted of wine. thanks

[VeritasIncrebresco]

@kuta4eva alcohol burns away when it's cooked, so you're not consuming actual alcohol.

[kuta4eva]

@VeritasIncrebresco thank for the reply, but i can't have wine at all, even if alcohol is burns away. :)

[kiminokami]

@kuta4eva white grape juice works similarly.

[kuta4eva]

@kiminokami Thanks a lot, i'm going to try with white grape juice.

[calebthellama]

man, you are so amazing. why on earth does everything you make.. look amazing?? even when you say "i messed up" its 100% better than what I can do!! YOUR ACCIDENTS ARE BETTER THAN THE BEST FOODS. omg!! omgggg! now i'm super hungry!!

[SimoesLaurinda]

instead of using cayenne can i use paprika? or they are the same family lol :)))))

the dish look yummy and i will definitely try it one of this day, thank u for the recipe :))))

[SnAKeoMan]

Jizzed in my pants :D looks sweet ^^

[Zoritsa]

Made this yesterday,we all loved it,even my picky husband and 9 year old.Yum!

[shoshoo100]

[Cabsinthehouse]

Hello Chef John,

hehe even though you said there was no substitute for capers.

is there a substitute for capers :P

i can't find capers in bangkok,thailand

[MyassWins]

@Cabsinthehouse There really isn't, it has a really unique flavor. You can make it without the capers though.

Can't miss the capers if you've never tried them, after all.

[hananebeauty]

I'M SO HUNGRYYY : s

[ThomasBaluWalter]

Guys, Chef John tells you in the video that this is NOT extra virgin olive oil. It's a cheaper version...

[windar997]

I used this recipe today. I have to agree it is very very tasty. A+ Tasty.

[LifeSgreeaat]

Hello chef john. Great recipe! I just wanted to know.. I live in greece, and here we keep the capparis in vinegar. Did you use vinegar capparis?

[pansyed]

pounding ur meat

[LaceHearts]

@pansyed Chef John loves to pound his meat lol.

[CimChim]

Chef John, you are my hero. I made this for dinner last night and it was AMAZING. It rocked! YOU ROCK!

[russtex]

Fabulous! I want some now!

[abstractadobo]

except for the caper-smash technique, this is exactly how we made it in the restaurant I worked in. so good. so sooo good. thanks, Chef John!

[Keshimaru]

i farted and u sound old.

[quextico]

Another winner, Chef John....thanks!

[krisxcouture]

do you have a restaurant? your videos are great! makes me salivate!

[meowjanet]

Chef John, When does the chicken get pricked? Just wondering!

[oekakinin]

@meowjanet he said it was a metaphor in like the first 30 seconds of the video.

[lecool115]

Chef John, U should be on Iron Chef America taking on Bobby Flay! Anybody else agree?

[punkrockprinjess]

I like how I just had dinner, watched this, became dead hungry all of a sudden. I swear you'll make me fat chef John lol.

[foodwishes]

[pesiuber]

I take my hat off to you, my kind sir

[sweetcake2121]

thanks to you i now know how to make one of favorite dishes xD i had no idea how easy it was yayness :)

[cyoohoos]

wish you would have given us some background on what capers are and where to find them. Do they have seeded and seedless versions?

[JessicaPersonalChef]

This is one of my favorite dishes of all time! Funny I said this before the viedo started lol. You agree with me :) You're a smart cookie Chef John!

[jamyupsuhsuh]

i think chef john should try out for top chef :)

[wlchase]

Another great quick recipe! Awesome!

Question, tho: How would you suggest thawing meat/chicken from frozen, since most recipes work best when it's room temp. Bear in mind, room temp here in central TX is about 76!

[nm7kneeslapper]

Your chicken breast got a lumpectomy!

[CMETRIQUE]

bleh can't eat flour :(

[jjdd831]

I was looking for a good rabbit recipe, if you could do that it would be awesome, if not thats ok because your recipes are awesome. Thanks for all the great and tasty ideas
