piccata
Tangy veal treatment
Piccata is a style of preparing meat—typically veal or chicken—by slicing it thin, dredging in flour, sautéing, and serving with a sauce of lemon, butter, and capers: chicken piccata, veal piccata.
The dish appears on Italian-American restaurant menus.
The word comes from Italian, suggesting something piquant or sharp.
