Lemon Chicken Piccata with a Spicy Twist
We're cooking up classic Chicken Piccata in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen, my friends. We love lemon chicken piccata, and it's one of Patty's favorite dishes.
You may ask, though - is chicken piccata spicy? No, chicken piccata is not a spicy dish, but that doesn't mean we can't make it spicy!
Why You'll Love MY Chicken Piccata Recipe
I make my chicken piccata very similar to the classic way, but with the inclusion of chili peppers and extra spices for added flavor and a touch of heat. I think most recipes are better with a touch of spiciness to them.
I suggest using only slightly spicy peppers, ones that will not overwhelm your palate or the delicate balance of flavors with your typical lemon chicken piccata. Use just enough to let your taste buds know they're alive and kicking.
I'm using mildly spicy rocoto peppers and a bit of chili powder to introduce some new elements of flavor and a tad bit of heat.
I'm filing this one under "Quick and Easy Recipes" because you'll have this done in under 30 minutes and you will love it. Seriously, take a break from all that meal planning and make yourself something yummy that takes practically no work at all.
