The star of this recipe is, of course, the chicken thighs. We use skinned chicken thighs for a healthier option, and to give them a delectable crust, we first coat them in a seasoned flour mixture, then dip them in a lightly beaten egg white and finish with a generous dredging in Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs. The chicken is then cooked to golden perfection in a large nonstick skillet, giving it a crispy exterior while remaining juicy on the inside.

The sauce that accompanies this dish is truly what makes it Piccata-Style. A mixture of fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and minced garlic is reduced to a flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the chicken. The addition of fresh parsley and capers adds a burst of freshness and zest, while a sprinkle of grated lemon rind at the end elevates the dish to new heights.

With its rich flavors and satisfying textures, Chicken Thighs Piccata-Style is sure to become a new favorite in your lunch and dinner rotation. Give it a try – you won't be disappointed!
