The Cheesecake Factory Chicken Piccata has to be one of my favorite ways to enjoy this classic dish. Unlike other chicken piccata dishes this one contains mushrooms, and has a creamy sauce that is hard to beat. Soon you can be recreating this dish just they prepare this recipe in the restaurant.
I personally love dishes that you can make from a chicken breast. For me, this is a go to stable for a weeknight meal. This means you can have dinner on the table in a flash. Who doesn’t want to have dinner on the table without a lot of time and effort?
What makes this recipe from the Cheesecake Factory different? Most chicken piccata recipes do not have mushrooms. I know you will love the Cheesecake Factory Chicken Piccata. We will use baby Portobello mushrooms in this recipe. They offer a little more flavor than your traditional white button mushrooms. This recipe also calls for a big of dry white wine. If you don’t have any dry white wine on hand, you can use a dry Vermouth. Dry Vermouth works as a nice substitute for white wine. If you do not drink alcohol, I would use some chicken broth, it won’t taste as well, but it will do nicely.
I think one of the key ingredients that makes this dish extra special are the capers. I love capers, I have used them in my Tartar sauce recipe. Capers are a type of juniper berry, these add so much flavor. These add a nice pop of flavor that reminds me of a tart salty pickle. You will also need some fresh lemons and some fresh parsley to make this dish special.
We are going to prepare this dish with 1 to 1 and 1/2 pounds of chicken breast. This could be 3 smaller breasts or 2 larger ones. We are going to slice the chicken breast horizontally and then we will pound them out thin. This helps your cooking time take just a flash.
