Chicken Piccata is a popular dish found in many top Italian restaurants across the USA. While in Italy, this style of cooking is often prepared with veal or swordfish, North American cuisine often utilizes chicken. Italian-American cooks have popularized this recipe using chicken, making it well-loved. It’s an easy and elegant dish to prepare for both yourself and your guests..
What does mean Piccata?
The word Piccata describes meat, usually veal or chicken. It is sliced and dredged in flour, then sautéed in a sauce containing lemon juice, butter and capers.
“Piccata is an Italian term sometimes spelled as piccatta or pichotta. It may be related to the word ‘piccato.’ This could be a translation of the French ‘piqué.’ ‘Piqué’ is the past participle of ‘piquer,’ meaning ‘to prick’ or ‘to lard.’ ‘Piquant’ refers to something sharp or stimulating in flavor. This is not the same as the culinary meaning of the Italian term. In Italian, it refers to meat that has been pounded flat.”
