An Italian restaurant staple, but lightened up. This lighter chicken piccata is lower in calories, but not lacking in flavor. Thinly sliced chicken breast is dredged in seasoned flour, and pan seared in light butter. A simple sauce of lemon juice, chicken stock and capers is built in the same pan and simmers with the cooked chicken to develop even more flavor. Simple when it comes to ingredients, this dish can be thrown together in under 30 minutes for a delicious and easy homemade meal.
