chicken piccata
Capered lemon scallopini
Chicken piccata is an Italian-American dish of thin chicken cutlets dredged in flour, pan-fried, and served in a sauce of butter, lemon juice, white wine, and capers.
The bright, tangy sauce defines the dish: The chicken piccata at that trattoria is the best I've ever had.
Piccata refers to the preparation style—veal piccata uses the same technique.
