This recipe is so simple and done in only 30 minutes.
Begin by cooking the chicken in a pan. I like to cook it in olive oil on medium heat until it has a light brown crust on both sides.
While the chicken cooks, chop the onion, parsley, and mince the garlic. Add to a pan with the capers, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Sauté on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add the coconut cream and chicken broth. Let this simmer for a couple minutes while you chop the chicken.
Chop the chicken into cubes and chop the kale. Add both ingredients to the soup, stir and you’re ready to serve this unbelievably flavor filled Chicken Piccata Soup!

Healthy Sides to Pair with This Chicken Piccata Soup
Pairing soups with the right sides can enhance the overall dining experience and provide a balanced meal. With soup being more of a “comfort food” it can be hard to figure out healthy options to go alongside! Here are some healthy and delicious soup sides you might consider:
- Salad: A fresh salad with mixed greens, vegetables, and a light vinaigrette complements almost any soup. It adds texture, crunch, and additional nutrients to the meal.
- Grilled Vegetables: Roasted or grilled vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, or asparagus can be a great side dish. They provide vitamins, minerals, and a different texture to balance the soup.
- Quinoa or Brown Rice: These nutritious grains can serve as a side to heartier soups like chili, stew, or lentil soup, adding protein and complex carbohydrates to the meal.
- Fruit: Sliced fruits like apple, pear, or berries can act as a refreshing and light side to contrast the warmth of a soup.
- Gluten Free Crackers or Croutons: For a crunchy element, opt for gluten free crackers or homemade gluten free croutons to sprinkle over the soup.
- Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream: A dollop of Greek yogurt or a spoonful of sour cream (low-fat versions if preferred) can add creaminess and tanginess to certain soups, especially tomato or vegetable-based ones.
- Herb-infused Olive Oil: Serve soup with a drizzle of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil infused with herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil for added flavor.
- Cheese Plate: A small plate with a variety of cheeses such as cheddar, Parmesan, or feta can complement certain soups, especially creamy or vegetable-based ones.
- Hummus and Veggie Sticks: Hummus paired with sliced cucumbers, carrots, or bell peppers can be a healthy and satisfying accompaniment.
Pairings Are Up To You!
Remember, the best side for your soup may depend on the type of soup you’re serving and personal preferences. These options offer variety and balance, allowing you to mix and match based on the flavors and nutritional needs of the main soup dish!
Enjoy!
