Our chicken piccata features all your favorite lemony and garlicky things: garlicky chicken cutlets, broccoli with garlic butter, and caper cream sauce.

At home

The Chicken

  1. Heat the chicken!
  2. Option #1 (in the oven): Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place chicken cutlets in the wooden eco tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until hot!
  3. Option #2 (in the air fryer): Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Add your chicken and heat for 8-10  minutes, or until warmed to your liking.
  4. Give your chicken a chop into bite sized pieces (if you like!)

The Ziti Rigati

  1. While your chicken is warming in the oven, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then drop in the ziti and give it a stir. 
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then carefully test a noodle for doneness. (We like it al dente, with a slight chew!)
  3. Reserve about a cup of pasta water, then strain!
  4. Mix your pasta in  
  5. Set your pasta pot back over medium heat and warm the lemon caper cream sauce until just simmering.. 
  6. Add in the ziti and stir to coat! If the sauce is looking a little thick, add a splash or two of the reserved pasta water. 

The Broccoli

  1. Place your broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl, add a few tablespoons of water, and cover with a plate or microwave-safe lid. Microwave for about 3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender. 
  2. Drain excess water from the bowl and add the garlic butter to the broccoli. Microwave until the butter is just melted, then toss to coat and season with S&P.

Time to plate! Add your saucy pasta and chicken into your bowls. Broccoli goes on the side.. Finish with lemon & fried capers on top!

That's it! #Dinnersolved, dinner served.
