[@scottfellows102]

The second prep is similar to how I make it. I also enjoy the addition of artichoke hearts, they really soak up the flavor of the sauce and act like little flavor bombs.

[@WintrBorn]

That's how the Greek place near me does it. It's amazing.

[@Ninten007]

I’m a firm artichoke in the piccata supporter.

[@loganl3746]

Oh I'm definitely trying that. I love artichoke. You're talking about pickled/marinated artichoke hearts, yeah?

[@brucetidwell7715]

Wow! Definitely adding that to my recipe.

[@jr2340]

At what point do you add the artichoke hearts

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

4:20 Been a while since I've seen something so appetizing on a plate like that, all that work looks like it was worth it in the end.

[@michaelleue7594]

Having watched a bunch of videos on making chicken piccata, this one really hits for me on why you do two versions. Most videos only do one version and it's much harder to parse what's key to the preparation and what's "extra". Getting a solid sense of that makes the whole thing much less difficult to understand.

[@OmegaShenron30]

There's need to be white wine

[@michaelfoxbrass]

The amped up version adds little additional effort but with such a great result! Love these Basics with Babish vids.

[@CookingKun]

I will try this for dinner tonight😍😍😍

Is Piccata Italian or American Italian dish?

Picatta is such a simple dish, but so rewarding.

[@JDarach]

Simple dishes rarely are

[@Dctctx]

@@JDarach not true at all

[@KenS1267]

@@JDarach This is what amateurs don't get. Simple dishes done well are the heart and soul of great cooking. Steakhouses exist because a properly cooked steak, which is a very simple dish, is one of the very best things in the world. Almost every great cuisine can be split into two halves, the rustic simple "peasant" food made simply with simple ingredients and the fussy complicated food of the nobility which was made by professional cooks who had large budgets, staffs and plenty of time to get things done. The most popular food is almost always the peasant side of things. To the point where it can be very hard to even find restaurants that serve the fussy complicated stuff.

I just made chicken piccata for the first time this week, I couldn't believe how delicious it was with so few ingredients.

[@nothing11558]

Been a while since I watched a babish video as soon as it came out. Still feels just as satisfying.

[@lloydedwardssaith9399]

I had chicken piccata for dinner last night at a favourite restaurant. It looked exactly like this, and tasted exactly as you described. I can't wait to try making this myself.

[@graywolfdracon]

I can't hear "chicken piccata" without thinking of Bevis screaming "I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED PICCATA FOR MY BUNGHOLE!" It is entirely possible I've seen that movie too many times.(edit: spelling)

I love that I found this

[@christinem4886]

This is my dad’s favorite dish, thanks for doing this video before Father’s Day 😂

[@mmmallory33]

I have chicken piccata every year for my birthday, which was just over a week ago One extra thing I do not mentioned... adding mushrooms. They soak up the butter and lemon sauce wonderfully.

[@Rapaglia1]

No. That is not piccata. Throwing whatever you want into it doesn’t make it that recipe - it just makes it a made-up dish.

[@timmaxwell2783]

@@Rapaglia1they use mushrooms for the chicken piccata at Cheesecake Factory and while in some cases adding an ingredient that completely changes a dish on its own like a new protein would be valid for your point adding mushrooms to piccata doesn’t make it a different recipe lol. Chill.

[@Rapaglia1]

@@timmaxwell2783 Lol! It does when Chicken Piccata doesn’t have mushrooms. I don’t care how Cheesecake Factory🙄 makes it, because Cheesecake Factory isn’t real Italian. It’s a chain restaurant with an assortment of pseudo-cultural foods. If you’re using Cheesecake Factory as your point of reference for what Chicken Piccata is, then you’ve missed the point entirely. Chicken Piccata literally is chicken cutlets in a butter, white wine, lemon, and caper sauce. Adding mushrooms to it DOES, in fact, make it a dish that is not Chicken Piccata. As a 6th generation Sicilian-born, I think I know what is and what isn’t Chicken Piccata.

[@lesbianaconda2971]

Imagine gatekeeping how someone else makes their food bc they’re adding an ingredient that isn’t normally used, instead of shutting up and letting people eat whatever makes them happy.

[@thatizzyatgamestop1365]

Babish has saved me on so many party nights (I've been raised to bring food whenever i visit friends or go to partys!) when I didn't know what to make, tomorrow I'm going to a family get together, making this tonight!!

[@salvatoreceravolo1414]

Andrew, just picked up the Babish chef and clef knives. Want to say that they are great to work with a great bargain. Thanks for putting together a great product.

[@jmodic]

I am so glad you did this! We submitted it to your website earlier this week. My wife love this dish and I thought it was super complicated so I never attempted it. Seeing it now I am going to give it a shot this weekend.

We sometimes have it at the education business cantina, it doesn't look and taste that great there. They bread it and serve it with tomato sauce. But even your plain Piccata looks so awesome I want to try it out. The other version looks even better, but how hard is it?
