FAQ ABOUT SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PICCATA:

Can I put raw chicken in the slow cooker without browning it first?

Yes, you can! If you want to save a step and not brown the chicken beforehand you don’t need to. However, I would still dredge the chicken in a bit of flour to help thicken the liquid in the slow cooker a bit.

What can I serve with Slow Cooker Chicken Piccata besides pasta?

You can serve this lemony chicken dish over rice, riced broccoli, risotto, potatoes, zucchini noodles, sauteed spinach, noodles, pierogi, polenta

How Do I Store leftover slow cooker chicken piccata?

Keep leftover chicken piccata covered in the refrigerator in a refrigerator friendly covered container for 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked chicken piccata with sauce.

What is the best way to reheat leftover chicken piccata?

The absolute best way to reheat leftover chicken piccata is in the oven. Simply preheat the oven to 250ºF and place chicken in a oven safe dish with the leftover piccata sauce. If there isn’t enough sauce to add, just add in some extra chicken broth. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

If you are in a hurry or simply don’t want to turn on the oven, you can reheat it in the microwave. To prevent the microwave from drying out the chicken or absorbing the sauce, add a bit of chicken broth. To further prevent the chicken from drying, cover it with a microwave safe cover. Heat for 2 minutes on medium power. Check to see if it’s reheat through, if not microwave in 30 second increments until done. Enjoy!
