Pellicano’s Signature Chicken Piccata

Experience the elegance of a classic Italian bistro at your next event with Pellicano’s Signature Chicken Piccata. This dish is a perfect example of the "Pellicano Standard"—taking a traditional family recipe and elevating it with high-quality ingredients and professional technique. Designed to serve 12-18 people, this catering favorite offers a bright, sophisticated flavor profile that is both light and incredibly satisfying.

The heart of the dish is our tender Chicken Cutlets, lightly dredged in seasoned flour and pan-seared to achieve a golden, delicate crust. The cutlets are then simmered in a vibrant, silky sauce crafted from fresh butter, aromatic garlic, and sautéed onions. We use a crisp White Cooking Wine to deglaze the pan, creating a complex flavor base that perfectly balances the richness of the chicken.

To provide the signature "Piccata" tang, we incorporate Nonpareil Capers for a salty, briny pop and a generous splash of Lemon Juice for brightness. The sauce is finished with our savory chicken base and a hint of cornstarch to ensure a velvety consistency that clings perfectly to every cutlet. This is restaurant-quality catering that reflects the craftsmanship Paul Pellicano has championed for years.

Quality and Preparation: Every tray of Chicken Piccata is made fresh to order in our kitchen. Unlike standard catering options, we focus on the balance of acidity and richness, ensuring the lemon doesn't overpower the delicate flavor of the chicken. This dish arrives ready to serve, presenting a professional and mouth-watering centerpiece for any gathering.

Catering Versatility: This versatile Italian classic pairs beautifully with a variety of Pellicano’s offerings:

• Starch Pairings: Serve alongside a tray of our buttered noodles, risotto, or roasted potatoes.

• Green Sides: Complements fresh roasted asparagus or a crisp garden salad.

• Special Occasions: An ideal choice for bridal showers, corporate luncheons, or intimate family celebrations.
