Easy Chicken Piccata Recipe

Whisk the flour and pepper together in a shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast first into the egg-lemon mixture, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Once the butter is shimmering, add the coated chicken pieces and brown them on both sides until golden.

Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with the chicken broth. Pour this liquid into the skillet with the browned chicken.

Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer for 20 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces after 10 minutes, continuing to cook until they are cooked through and tender.
