Here is a great recipe, which is a twist on the classic baked or fried chicken piccata, last year, I used the grill to make this chicken dish, and my kids loved it so much, I decided to try it in the air fryer.

Traditional Chicken Piccata is made with traditional Italian ingredients such as capers, lemon, and garlic. This recipe is extremely fast, as if you went to bake it you are looking at a cooking time of over 40 minutes, this recipe will have you a plate of chicken Piccata in 12 minutes. (Depending on the size of the chicken breasts)

The key ingredients in this recipe are:

1. The Chicken Breasts, which need to be pounded as flat as you can get them, use a mallet if you don’t have one, pick one up because it’s actually really fun.  It also tenderizes the meat and makes your chicken nice and flavorful.
2. Capers, capers are usually found in Mediterranean dishes, they add a salty, but vinegar addition to most recipes.  They are pickled flower buds, they come from the Capparis Spinosa bush. (Thanks to Wikipedia)
   

The sauce adds a great flavor to the chicken, along with the breading. My kids love it because it reminds them of a classic Italian chicken dish, but better because they can have it at home. This chicken is moist, flavorful, and has a great texture as well. My entire family devoured it, and it can be made ahead of time, just cover it with aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator, until ready to eat.

I purchased our air fryer last April, and then I purchased another air fryer in December, and yet, I just ordered another one this week. It has quickly become one of our favorite kitchen appliances, and it replaced my oven. The other day, I was dusting my oven, and I was thinking, when was the last time, I used this?

This is my favorite air fryer of all time, and I have a lot of choices in my kitchen.

The air fryer is nice and light and with very little oil, you too can get healthy, crisped dinners (chicken, etc). And, it saves you a ton of time, because it doesn’t require you to wait for the oven to preheat, and the dishes quickly cook, compared to the oven.

Here are some tips for air frying chicken:

• • Seasoning your chicken is important.
  • Most chicken dishes can be rubbed and then set into the refrigerator ahead of time. So, when you come home from work/errands/kids, etc., you can just place it in the air fryer, spray it with olive oil spray and air fryer.
  • Spraying the chicken with olive oil spray is one of the keys. I spray the heck of out of, and I always get no white spots and tender (way juicy) chicken.
  • Always flip the chicken halfway, and then spray again. This way both sides are nice, light, and tender.
  • Because eating uncooked chicken is unhealthy and can you sick, invest in a meat thermometer.

Today, I kept the chicken recipe really simple, so that everyone could have a base, of a chicken to use in chicken salads, cut up a chicken for salads, for the summer, etc.

This is the chicken I used in this recipe. Simply add some chicken seasoning, I used this one, Lawry’s my family always loved it. Rub it all over the chicken, and then place in the air fryer.  As you coat them place them in either a greased air fryer basket or on a greased air fryer tray. Once you are all done coating your chicken, spray them with olive oil spray (the entire chicken breast, otherwise you will get white spots on your chicken) Set the temperature for 350 degrees F, for 5 minutes. (air fryer setting)When the time is up, make sure that the internal temperature reads at least: 165 degrees F.

Plate, serve, and enjoy!
