    Keto chicken piccata is a low carb version of the classic Italian chicken recipe. Golden chicken breasts are cooked in a delicious lemon caper sauce. A quick and easy family recipe ready in under 30 minutes.

    This is a great simple low carb and gluten free chicken recipe that is packed with flavour for Spring or Summer.

    Is Piccata Low Carb?

    The traditional recipe involves breading the chicken breasts which is a nope for us. It could not be easier to make a piccata recipe low carb by simply replacing the flour with a low carb flour.

    How to Make Chicken Piccata

    For the flour substitute I have used oat fiber. It is so simple to flour in texture that it also worked well in helping to thicken the sauce too. Best of all, there's no nutty or coconut taste too! Almond flour or lupin flour make a great replacement if you don't have oat fiber.

    The chicken breasts need to be fairly thin to ensure even and quick cooking. If your breasts are too plump, place them between two layers of cling film and give them a bash with the rolling pin to flatten them. Ideally, chicken cutlets are preferred.

    What to Serve with this Keto Chicken Piccata?

    Traditionally chicken piccata is served with mashed potatoes or pasta. A few low carb options are:

    • Cauliflower cheese croquettes,
    • Roasted broccoli
    • Broccoli salad.
    • Cauliflower Mash

    Recipe Tips & Suggestions

    For an extra creamy sauce add a couple tablespoons of heavy cream when you add the chicken to the sauce.

    Add artichokes or spinach to the sauce for a heartier meal.
