Quick and easy, Creamy Chicken Piccata is ready in just 30 minutes thanks to thin sliced chicken breasts. Bathed in a creamy sauce with mushrooms, artichokes and capers….this one is totally restaurant worthy.
Fall is around the corner and I’m ready for it. This is the time of year when I need ALLLLL the comfort food. Rich, creamy sauces and hearty stews are my go-to when I’m trying to keep myself from realizing summer is almost over.
But I also need to have recipes that are super easy to prepare for those busy weeknights when time is tight and this Creamy Chicken Piccata recipe is one that’s been on repeat for a few weeks now.
Thinly sliced chicken breasts cook up in minutes then are drenched in a creamy piccata sauce that’s packed with fun veggies like mushrooms and artichokes. It’s like an amped up Chicken Piccata that could totally pass as a restaurant take out meal.

Creamy Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is a classic Italian recipe that’s made with thin sliced chicken cutlets that are dredged in flour before being fried to a crispy golden brown. Topped with a tangy lemon sauce that’s spiked with capers, it’s simple chicken recipe that’s easy to prepare.
This version of chicken piccata has a creamy piccata sauce that’s loaded with mushrooms and artichokes making it a great option for a one pan meal.
How To Make It
My Creamy Chicken Piccata recipe couldn’t be easier to make….simply dredge your chicken in seasoned flour and add to a searing hot skillet.
Brown and then remove to a warm platter.
To make the piccata sauce, saute your veggies in a bit of butter then deglaze with wine and chicken stock. A splash of half and half makes it creamy without adding a ton of calories. AND….you only have on pan to clean. How AWESOME IS THAT???
What To Serve With It
This easy Chicken Piccata recipe is fantastic served with my favorite pasta side dish and a light green salad for a healthy, light dinner your family will request over and over again.
You can also make it a heartier meal by serving on top of a pile of mashed potatoes or alongside a mountain of baby Yukon gold potatoes.
