Wonderful flavor and even better the next day! Great with Brussels sprouts or asparagus.

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir lemon juice and garlic into the oil and cook until the garlic is soft, about 5 minutes. Put chicken into the skillet, place a cover on the skillet, and cook until browned completely, about 5 minutes per side.

  • Remove chicken from skillet to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to retain moisture. Add chicken broth and white wine to the skillet; bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir Parmesan cheese and capers into the liquid mixture; cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix bow-tie pasta into sauce; toss to coat. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl.

  • Return chicken to the skillet. Place a cover on the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter; serve alongside bow-tie pasta.

Partner Tip

Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

We thought this was a very good meal. The one and only change I made was to use a different pasta. I've maybe had a more traditional piccata before but this was a great meal for us tonight. My hubby is very grateful tonight Arica! Thanks! Read More

Well I am a little mad at this recipe. I did exactly what it said to do and it is not thickening at all. I had to add almost the whole container of cheese. I hate when the pictures are nowhere near the real thing. Read More

While the flavor was good the texture of the sauce was terrible. I wondered about putting parmesean cheese in a sauce while it was heating but I followed directions and I was right it clumped up really bad. So the cheese and capers were all lumped together instead of uniform throughout the sauce. Clean up was a mess because everything the cheese touched had to be scrubbed to get it off. Thats why I gave it only 2 stars. Read More

We really liked this recipe. The sauce is so good. I think the parm cheese was not needed because it just made the capers clump. I added a little more lemon and a few pats of butter at the very end to finish it off. Read More

have tried several other picatta recipes while looking for a taste comparable to my favorite dish from a local restaurant and they were either too dry or too thin and something lacked in the flavor. The addition to of parmesan to this recipe got my tastebuds singing. it came out amazing. it did seem like much of the lemon had evaporated so I did add an extra squirt or two when I removed the chicken. the lemon didn't overpower the recipe at all! after trying several recipes this one is definitely the keeper!

Very good sauce! I found that it wasn't thickening either so rather than add more parmesan cheese I used baking powder to thicken. I actually used the sauce to fix the leftovers from a similar crockpot recipe. Don't know what I do wrong but my chicken breasts always get too dry in the crockpot. Next time and there will be a next time I will use a skillet as this recipe does. This makes a lot more sauce and it is much tastier than te crockpot recipe. Both my husband and I liked this one.
