    • Gluten Free Chicken Piccata

    No matter the time of year, lemon is one of my favorite ingredients to make everything taste fresh! Gluten free chicken piccata is one of those easy weeknight meals that tastes like it took hours to make and it's bursting with fresh flavors!

    Serve this delicious recipe with sides like blistered green beans and air fryer potato wedges.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Surprisingly quick and easy weeknight dinner - only 30 minutes from start to finish.
    • Healthy, simple ingredients.
    • Easy to make dairy free too! Just sub out the butter for vegan butter.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Reference the recipe card at the bottom for exact measurements and the notes below for substitution ideas.

    ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Chicken Breast: I recommend ButcherBox meat. ButcherBox has only free range, certified organic meat that is humanely raised with zero antibiotics or added hormones.
    • Lemons: You need both lemon juice and lemon zest.
    • Butter: Vegan butter may be substituted recipe dairy free.
    • GF Flour: I recommend either Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 baking flour or King Arthur flour all purpose flour.  Both measure at one-for-one compared to all purpose flour and provide a great texture.
    • White Wine: You may also substitute more broth if you do not have white wine.

    Instructions for This Recipe

    This is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cook time and temperatures.

    steps for making this recipe
    steps for making this recipe
    1. The first step is getting the chicken breaded. You will want to make sure your meat is dry and then seasoned with salt and pepper.
    2. Incorporate the lemon zest with the flour.
    3. Place the meat into the flour mixture and coat on both sides.
    4. From there move the prepared meat pieces to a plate.
    5. Now, let's move onto searing the meat and making the sauce. Once your chicken is breaded you can sear it in a frying pan for a few minutes per side in hot olive oil over medium heat. Aim for 2-3 minutes per side. You want the meat to be golden brown but not fully cooked.
    6. Next, move it to a baking dish.
    7. You can now start the pan sauce. Melt butter and mix flour to create a roux. Add in white wine, lemon juice and capers.
    8. Coat seared meat with sauce and then place in a 400F oven to finish - about 15 to 20 minutes.

    Expert Tips & Things You Need to Know

    • Ensure that your chicken is completely dry before seasoning and dredging in flour. This will help the coating to stick.
    • To ensure proper browning and even cooking butterfly meat, use thin sliced pieces, or pound meat to ½ inch thick.
    • Make with artichokes for even more flavor - just like this Whole30 Mediterranean chicken!
    • Dairy free: Substitute butter for vegan butter.
    • No wine: Use chicken broth in place of white wine if desired.
    • Keto or Paleo recipe: Use almond flour in place of GF flour.
    • Serve: Serve with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes and veggie sides like zucchini, green beans or broccoli.
    • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
    • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-8 minutes or until heated through.
    • Freezer: Freeze cooled leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
