About Picatta

Piccata is a classic Italian dish traditionally prepared with thinly sliced meat, often chicken or veal, that is lightly dredged in flour and sautéed in butter or oil. The dish is distinguished by its tangy sauce, made with lemon juice, capers, white wine, and sometimes chicken stock, which provides a bright, savory flavor. While Piccata is rich in protein from the meat, its butter-based cooking method and sauce can add significant calories and fat. Opting for olive oil instead of butter and using reduced-sodium stock can make the dish lighter and heart-healthier. The inclusion of capers offers antioxidants, while fresh lemon juice provides vitamin C. Typically served alongside vegetables or whole-grain pasta, Piccata can be adapted into a more balanced meal. Its vibrant flavors and simple preparation make it a popular choice for those who enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
