One Pan Chicken Piccata and Rice – Easy and quick to make Chicken Piccata prepared over a bed of delicious rice with wine, capers, and lemons.
Hello, dear friends! Happy day to you all. This morning I find myself sipping on coffee through a straw (a STRAW!) because yesterday I paid an arm and a leg to get my teeth whitened. ?
They also said, no red wine… so I reached for the white. I was told not to eat raspberries, too… so I reached for more white wine. ?
All that wine helped me get over the price tag of two things; teeth whitening AND taxes. HOLD ME! ???
And I used the remaining 1 cup of wine in this wonderful One Pan Chicken Piccata and Rice. ? Normally, I would have used chicken broth, but clearly these days I need something that’s a little bit stronger.
The idea for this delicious meal comes from my One Pot Chicken and Rice with Artichokes. I am HAPPIEST when I can make a side AND a main all in one pan, so this had to happen, no matter what.
Thus, our chicken-piccata-all-in-one meal starts off like many; brown chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil and set aside.
Throw some onions, garlic, and rice in the pan and give ’em a wine-bath… then, before it’s all said and done, we will add the chicken back in the pan and let it all come together for around 20 minutes.
As you can see, it’s so easy and simple to make, and you’ll have dinner on the table within 35…ish minutes.
ENJOY!
