Chicken Piccata
Chicken piccata is an easy and delicious chicken dish. The chicken breasts are first dredged in all-purpose flour, browned on both sides and then cooked in a Piccata sauce. For this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Piccata recipe, I added heavy whipping cream for a rich sauce that goes well with pasta.
What Is Piccata Sauce
Piccata sauce originated from Italy. It’s a sauce made mostly with lemon juice and butter. It’s citrusy and tastes best on protein such as chicken and fish, for example: salmon. You can make the sauce creamy by adding heavy whipping cream.
How To Dredge Chicken
To make the chicken cutlets, first you butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally into thinner pieces. Instead of seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper first, I mix both of them in the all-purpose flour. It’s easier! After that, transfer the chicken breasts to the flour mixture and dredge them thoroughly in the flour, until well coated.
What To Serve With Creamy Chicken Piccata
