Chicken piccata is a classic for a reason: Thin pieces of skinless, boneless chicken breast sear quickly to form a golden brown crust, and lemon and capers team up to create a bright and punchy sauce. Here the traditional components become a salad thanks to the inclusion of pleasantly bitter radicchio and crispy breadcrumbs. The pan sauce turned warm vinaigrette keeps the whole thing cozy—as close to comfort food as a salad can get.
