This Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Piccata recipe is ideal for an everyday meal and is chicken fillets smothered in a delicious lemon and caper sauce!

In my home we have some favourite dishes that are usually on the menu somewhere, during the week. One of those dishes is this Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Piccata. It is a delicious, everyday meal that is really easy to make and is full of flavour!

Chicken Piccata is where the chicken is sliced, coated, sautéed and then served in a sauce...in this case a delicious lemon and caper sauce!

It is a perfect dish for when you want a 'nice' dinner...but really don't have a lot of energy after a long day. It is one of those dishes where you are happy to lick the plate clean 😉

 The best part of this everyday meal is that it doesn't need fancy ingredients, it doesn't take long to cook and it can be served with salad, on rice or even with vegetables.

You can adjust the amount of lemon you add to this dish, but we love lemon flavour and the juice from ½ a large lemon and some lemon slices, is just perfect!

Easy Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Piccata Ingredients

• 3 chicken fillets sliced in half lengthwise

Another bonus about this recipe is that it is only 5 steps to cooking a scrumptious dinner!

How to make Easy Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Piccata

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon slices, capers and chicken stock to the pan and simmer for a minute or 2.

Step 5

Place the chicken fillets back into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes - or till cooked through and the sauce thickens.

.....Serve on a plate and drizzle the sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve with rice and salad!!
