Grilled Chicken Piccata Pasta Recipe – lemon pepper marinated chicken, grilled – tossed with pasta in a lemon, garlic and caper sauce – Ready in 15 minutes!
We are always looking for new ways to enjoy some of our favorite dishes. This dish combines two of our favorite dishes – grilled chicken and chicken piccata.
I used a bottled lemon pepper marinade for the chicken and added some minced garlic. I whipped up the sauce while Chicken Legs grilled the chicken. It all came together in no time. We both absolutely loved this dish. The chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful. The sauce tasted amazing! It was definitely a fun change to our usual chicken piccata.

I'm making this tonight, but with rice. Can't wait for dinner.
Made this tonight! Delicious!!
I used Egg Noodles because that's what I had on hand. Not sure if that made a difference but I felt like more sauce was needed. Maybe my noodles "sucked up" the sauce more. But overall it was very good and easy to make.
Very nice looking recipe! I can't wait to try it!
I would think you were crazy for trying to GRILL chicken piccata since it uses a pan sauce but then again I did chicken marsala that way.
I'll have to be giving this a shot, Steph.
I just bookmarked about half of your entire blog. Hah! š Thank you for all the great recipes to try.
Lemon and capers, awesome!
