This gluten free dairy free chicken piccata is creamy and full of fresh lemon. Thin chicken cutlets are lightly dredged and pan-seared until golden, then finished in a lemon caper sauce made with coconut cream for a dairy-free twist. A quick bake at the end helps the sauce coat every piece of chicken perfectly. It’s a simple weeknight dinner that feels elevated but comes together quickly! Serve it over gluten-free pasta, rice, or roasted potatoes.

Whisk the 1 tbsp gluten free flour with a little broth, then stir into the pan.
Add coconut cream, capers, nutritional yeast, and salt. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish and bake at 375°F for about 5 minutes, just until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce OR return the chicken to the saucepan and spoon the sauce over the top, saving some extra sauce to toss with pasta or noodles.
