This recipe for gluten-free Chicken Picatta contains a wonderful blend of white wine, lemon, butter, and capers. It is grain-free and gluten free and uses healthy oils to cook with. Avocado oil and coconut oil hold up well when heated and are two of the best oils to cook with. Gluten is also a common allergen and this healthy chicken picatta recipe does not have gluten or any other grains. It uses tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch) and coconut flour for the coating. Most gluten-free recipes call for almond or other nut flours but these oxide when heated and become unhealthy. Tapioca starch and coconut flour do not do this and also have a better, lighter flavor.
