Chicken Piccata

食材

Chicken piccata is not Italian -we call it “scaloppina al limone” and doesn’t come with capers- but an Italian-American grandma (Nonna Angela) made it for me the other day

and I fell in love with it.

Ingredients (serving 1 if you ask me and my brothers)

4 Chicken breast

2 Lemons

100ml White wine

20g Capers

10g Fresh Parsley

120g Flour

3 minced garlic cloves

30ml Olive oil

Salt, Pepper to taste

As a born and raised Italian I love everything about the Italian American colture.

What we think in Italy is completely different from the reality:

They eat frozen pineapple pizza, precooked spaghetti, microwaved lasagnas…” which is true in many cases, but that’s not about being Italian-American

The truth is there’s thousands of nonnas, Nonnos and many younger people too that treats the Italian American recipes with a Mediterranean spirit.

Fresh ingredients, everything from scratch and the result can just be amazing, like the chicken piccata that my friend’s nonna made for me.

The one I made is pretty good too.

Try it yourself.
