They\u2019re typically served alongside chicken and salmon dishes, adding a ton of flavor. Capers are under ripened flower buds of a plant known as the caper bush. The capers are picked and dried. Then they are pickled to create this tangy, salty, and briny flavor that is out of this world yummy.<\/p>\n<p>These little pea-sized condiments produce big flavor. A little goes a long way. Use them in salads, pasta, and chicken. Because of their lemony flavor, they are also great with fish.

It can also be made keto if you\u2019re wanting a more diet-friendly option!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Noodles:\u00a0<\/strong>Truly any kind of pasta can be used to serve this scrumptious lemon piccata dish with. (Want to switch things up? Try <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/tagliatelle-pasta\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">tagliatelle<\/a>!) You can also serve it over steamed vegetables, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/mashed-potatoes-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">mashed potatoes<\/a>, or rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keto\/Low-Carb: <\/strong>To make this meal keto-friendly, use almond flour for coating your chicken in instead of all-purpose flour.
