Chicken Piccata Casserole

  • cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup capers, drained
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour and garlic; stir constantly until garlic is fragrant and flour is mixed well, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and half-and-half. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, until sauce is bubbly and thick, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, capers, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into 2 cutlets. Place in a single layer in the prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the sauce evenly over the chicken and top with lemon slices.
  5. Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
