    Lemon Chicken Piccata is a family favorite recipe!  My family prefers low carb meals and this chicken piccata is just, low-carb and delicious! I love that this is an easy healthy meal that can be made ahead, freezer-friendly, and low-fat too!

    I am so excited to share how I make my low carb lemon chicken piccata.

    The white wine, lemon, garlic sauce, and caper sauce is fantastic and the calories are kept down with low-sodium chicken stock too! There is an easy secret ingredient that keeps this meal low-carb, low-calorie and gluten-free! #italianfood

    I cannot believe I have not shared this recipe for easy Lemon Chicken Piccata with all of you before today! It is Italian Food Day for me and some of my favorite blogger friends! When I started to think of which recipe to share, it was a no-brainer!

    Chicken Piccata is super popular in Italian restaurants but it can be weighed down with calories because most recipes call for frying and lots of breadcrumbs.

    The carbs in the white flour, ugh, are they necessary?

    I needed to experiment and find a low carb chicken dinner.  I played around with ingredients and I have created a recipe to make at home and its low-carb, low-calorie, crowd-pleasing easy lemon chicken recipe that's delicious, trust me!

    Lemony and delicious!

    What type of chicken should I use to make low-carb Lemon Chicken Piccata?

    Use boneless chicken cutlets, much cheaper than the already packaged thin cutlets. I personally buy in bulk. Trim any fat from the cutlets and freeze them for use at a later date.

    How to thin the chicken cutlets at home?

    Place wax paper over the chicken cutlets and pound the chicken down to about ¼ inch thick. Check out this tutorial, to cutting chicken cutlets

    What are capers?

    Capers are the unripened bud from a perennial plant that is native to the Mediterranean region. The bud is then pickled in wine, vinegar or brine.

    What do you serve with Low Carb Lemon Chicken Piccata?

    I love serving this chicken with Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic to keep it gluten-free, low carb and keto-friendly! Can you tell how much I love lemon and garlic! I love Roasted Spaghetti Squash with the Lemon Chicken Piccata which makes it a perfect low-carb easy meal!

    Tools to Make Lemon Chicken Piccata:

    How to Make Chicken Piccata ( low-carb/keto)

    1. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
    2. Coat the chicken with the almond mixture. If you have a few minutes. Place the chicken in the fridge to ensure the almond coating will stick to the chicken.

    3. Add olive oil and unsalted butter to a skillet.

    4. Be sure pan is heated before adding the chicken, otherwise, they may stick to the pan.

    Instructions

    • In a large plate, mix almond flour, Parmesan Cheese, salt and black pepper. Rinse the chicken in cold water and dredge in the almond flour mixture. Coat chicken well in the flour mixture. Set aside until all chicken dredged in flour.
    • Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons each of olive oil and unsalted butter, butter should sizzle. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Make sure chicken is not overlapping. Let chicken brown about 3-4 minutes. Flip chicken to complete cooking another 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, set chicken aside. 
    • To the skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add in the chopped shallots and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Add in white wine or chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers. Let simmer to reduce by about half, approximately 5 minutes. 
    • Add chicken back into pan. Serve with cauliflower rice, spaghetti squash, or your favorite side.

    NOTES

    • If making ahead, I get the dish ready and just reheat on the stovetop for a few minutes with a pot cover.  Can be reheated in the oven at 250 degrees for about 10 minutes.
    • If using chicken stock instead of wine, use low-sodium, fat-free broth.

      This is almost exactly the way I've been making chicken piccata since going low carb, and my family absolutely loves it! I do dip the chicken pieces in beaten egg before coating, as it really helps the coating to adhere. I use 1/3-1/2 cup lemon juice instead of 1/4, just because I love the lemon so much. I also put several thin slices of lemon in the pan when cooking the shallots and garlic and let the lemon brown and caramelize a bit in the sauce--you can actually eat the lemon slices, rind and all when they're done this way. And for those who think they don't like capers, I think the capers just really make this dish!

      LOVE this recipe! I was looking for a new dish to make, and since I love Lemon Chicken Piccata anyway, I printed this out to give it a try. Made it last night, and it was oh, so good! Super easy, too! I only had all-purpose flour, so I substituted that, and omitted the shallots and capers, since I don't like them. I served it with turmeric pasta, and drizzled the extra sauce on it - wow! I will definitely be making this again!! Thank you!

        Hi Nicole,I'm so glad you enjoy the recipe. I have replaced the wine with chicken broth and you will be fine. I use salt-free for health purposes but you can use a homemade or store brand chicken broth, just check your labels to ensure ingredients have no added sugars.

      This was so easy and delicious. I love Pinot Grigio and always have it on hand but never cook with it. I think I love it even more now! I’m very sensitive to garlic so I used garlic infused olive oil and it was so flavorful. I also added a little extra Parmesan in the sauce at the end to thicken it. This will definitely be one of my go-to quick and easy dinners. Thanks!!

      I'm new to the gluten free community and so happy to find this recipe. But I'm confused about how to finish it. The recipe leaves the chicken set aside and the sauce in the pan. Do you add the chicken back to the pan and reheat it? Or do you leave the chicken on a platter and pour the sauce over? Thanks!

      This recipe was awesome! My boyfriend and younger sister who I also cook for and are not following a keto diet even loved the chicken! I was worried because I didn't have any shallots but I used a third of a medium yellow onion very finely Chopped with two extra cloves of garlic and got a great result. Also didn't have the wine so I used chicken bone broth. Thank you for the great recipe!

      Made this last night and it was delicious! I didn't have wine on hand so I just used chicken broth -- I can't imagine how delicious it would be with the wine! I will make sure I keep capers and cooking wine on hand so I can whip this up again sometime -- it was relatively quick, too! I had mine over spaghetti squash and made the boyfriend angel hair pasta, so that worked great, too. Thank you for posting.

        Hi Mellisa, I make this recipe all the time and I have not had an issue with the breading. What type of pan are you using? I use a non-stick pan and bring the heat up fairly high so that the cutlet begins to sear as soon as it is in the pan. perhaps try placing the cutlets in the fridge for a few minutes before placing in the saute pan. Let me know how this works for you Melissa!

          Hi Eileen,

          Thank you for the recommendation!!! I was using a cast iron pan but I switched to a non- stick and it made a world of difference.

      The flavor of this recipe was spot on perfect, but for the life of me I could not keep the breading from falling off the chicken. Once I solve that, it will be perfect. I did use a touch of xanthan gum to thicken the pan sauce a bit more after the reduction and it was wonderful over spaghetti squash.

        Hi lora, I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. If you are having trouble with the breading staying on the cutlets, make sure you have heated your pan up enough before adding the breaded chicken. A good test is to put a drop or two of water into the heated pan and it should zizzle right away. That should alleviate any issue with the breading. Hope that helps and let me know if that was the issue.

        I’ve had this issue with similar breaded recipes. The key is to use a non-stick coated pan. The pan eliminates this problem completely.

          Hey Summer, besides the non-stick pan, make sure the pan is warm so when the chicken goes into the pan,they begin to brown and the breading sticks.

      We love chicken piccata, and I'm so glad to see a recipe that reduces the carbs, as we're about to start a lower carb diet. A coating of almond flour and parmesan sounds fantastic! This looks like such a flavorful, satisfying meal.

      I think we've made about every kind of meat in a piccata way. It is delish. Hubby loves capers and we buy them in the humongous jars. They don't last long especially since we find a reason to use them in so many dishes. Your recipe looks fantastic and making it lighter is even better. Yay for Italian dishes -- this is from an Italian!! 🙂

        Thank you Mira for enjoying the recipe. I follow a well balanced diet. So many of my meals are low-carb. I do not use a lot of whole fats because I have a health concern. I have an auto-immune disease that affects my cholesterol levels. I basically keep it balanced and eat vegan, vegetarian, keto, and the occasional treat,:) and exercise daily. Following this diet I lost about 35-40 pounds and have never felt better. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. I hope this helped you.
