To make Herbed Chicken in Piccata Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried oregano

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

To start, season the chicken breasts with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour and additional herbs and spices. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped parsley.
To serve, place the chicken on a platter and spoon the piccata sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
