Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Piccata refers to a classic Italian dish that consists of chicken or veal coated with seasoned flour and cooked briefly in a skillet. Piccata dishes are served with a sauce made from lemon juice and fresh parsley.
  • tip 2
    To coat the chicken with less mess, coat all the chicken with flour first. Next, dip the chicken, one piece at a time, in the egg mixture using your left hand, and coat with bread crumbs using your right.
