CLASSIC Italian -American CHICKEN Piccata in 30 Minutes

[@chrysanthemum8233]

As an Italian American myself I appreciate Rik making the distinction between our cuisine and Italian cuisine. They're related but not the same, sort of like how British Indian food is related to but not the same as Indian food. This dish is a childhood favorite. Rik's recipe isn't quite the way my grandma made it but if I got this in a restaurant I'd be pleased with it.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

I love your style Rik, no fuss and simple instructions and explanations. Down to earth and no nonsense. Plus always an eye on economy and no messing about. All flavour and goodness.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Appreciated. Best, Rik

Chef, wishing you and your family a Happy New. I have learned a most valuable lesson from you. I believe the Number 1 most valuable tool in a kitchen is a SHARP knife. Don’t need exotic spices or expensive pans, don’t need five burner stove, don’t need beautiful serving dishes, don’t even need large prep space. But a sharp knife is a must. My mother’s knife barely had wood left on the handle. My father sharpened it with a wet stone and there was barely any blade left but it fit her hand and she diced, sliced and deboned everything with it. When I think of all the stuff I’ve bought over the years I’m embarrassed. That money could have been put to much better use. Just cook your family the meals that warm their souls, meals they constantly ask for with good, clean ingredients. Keep it slow and steady. HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉

[@BackyardChef]

Happy New Year to you, too. Thank you for sharing. Best, Rik

I appreciate a good sharp knife too. I have a small paring knife that my father made for my mother. It fits my hand perfectly but the knife is curvy and irregular in shape but works perfectly. I have his old whetstone and honing steel. The whetstone is thinner in the middle due to all the sharpening that he did. I have yet to find another paring knife that is so comfortable.

What a delicious dish to see on your channel. Last summer my granddaughter and her new husband treated both families to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Kansas City. I ordered their chicken piccata. As a sort of southern person with only having had fried chicken or chicken and noodles, I ordered this just to surprise myself. It was one of the most delicious meals i had ever eaten. And here you have an easy recipe for me to make. And just as doon as I get my smell and taste back from having the flu, I'm treating my family to your recipe. You make things so easy. Thanks ever so much. And a Happy New Year 🎊 to you ,Chef Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

I'm glad to hear you had such a good experience with Chicken Piccata and I wish you a speedy recovery! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@bulletproofblouse]

I have a friend who's back at work tomorrow and I'm not, so I said I'd go round and cook her tea afterwards. Looks like this is going to be it, and I've never used capers before but always been tempted to try them. Great work again, Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

Just watch the salt content some are very salty! Happy New Year. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@robbinallan3767]

Happy New Year Rik! Way to start with my favorite dish. Laughed at your dusgust with the sorry-looking piece of chicken. That bird just celebrated a bit much last night. And i bet it's just as delicious.

Never seen piccatta floured. Interesting.

[@BackyardChef]

Haven't you? Thank You. Best, Rik

[@307cavalier5]

@BackyardChef oh cool!! Nó the couple places I worked that had piccata on the menu...1 place we did grilled chicken, then we'd do the sauce like you did and pour it over...the other place, we'd make the sauce like you did, except we'd use roux instead of straight butter, that would go on the plate, we'd slice the chicken out and do a sort of poach on that, lay it in the sauce top with additional capers and sprig of parsley. I'll have to try this

[@BackyardChef]

[@wwsuwannee7993]

This is a great dish(you slapped that chicken around like it did something to you lol). Italian American food is of course not genuine Italian. Those old folks had to adapt to the new country, and what was available and cheap...that doesn't mean it's not delicious. Good one Rik :)

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed and agreed! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

Happy New Year to you and yours Rik. Of course you don’t waste anything, you’re a Yorkshireman lol. The only thing they waste is the moths in their wallets hehehe! Just kidding Rik, I absolutely abhor waste in any capacity. That looks delicious and as I’m really hungry as I’m watching, I could happily eat it now. xx

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha Happy New Year. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@kristinaexpat3843]

Ric, now I am lost…… I always thought you want the leftover parts when making a sauce…..

[@BackyardChef]

I do but will not waste parmesan mixed with flour - those people must have deep pockets and loads of dosh. I wouldn't even do that in the restaurant. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@kristinaexpat3843]

Got it!!

[@prubroughton1864]

Happy New Year! My dad used to make something similar,using pork chops and part cooked under the grill. This looks well tasty,so ingredients will definitely be in my next shop.
